00:11.040 --> 00:13.720
clear hold build . It's one of the

00:13.720 --> 00:15.664
missions of army engineers and the

00:15.664 --> 00:17.387
title of this piece of artwork

00:17.387 --> 00:19.553
commissioned by the five 55th engineer

00:19.553 --> 00:21.887
brigades , able soldier and family fund .

00:22.220 --> 00:24.331
The painting depicts combat engineers

00:24.331 --> 00:26.280
from the 864th Engineer Battalion

00:26.510 --> 00:28.732
Standing Guard as their fellow soldiers

00:28.732 --> 00:30.677
work to build new structures . The

00:30.677 --> 00:33.050
864th held an unveiling and dedication

00:33.050 --> 00:35.410
ceremony where painter and former army

00:35.410 --> 00:37.680
artist Patrick Haskett said it was an

00:37.680 --> 00:39.569
honor to create a piece featuring

00:39.569 --> 00:41.760
triple nickel soldiers . I can't think

00:41.760 --> 00:44.890
of anything better than to have the

00:44.890 --> 00:48.810
subject of such bravery , such soldiers

00:48.810 --> 00:51.300
that were male and female who will go

00:51.300 --> 00:55.220
into these situations and do this .

00:55.500 --> 00:57.722
Haskett worked with the eight 64th over

00:57.722 --> 00:59.611
a five month period to ensure the

00:59.611 --> 01:01.778
technical aspects of the painting were

01:01.778 --> 01:03.556
correct . Battalion commander ,

01:03.556 --> 01:05.722
Lieutenant Colonel john Henderson said

01:05.722 --> 01:07.722
it was an honor for everyone in the

01:07.722 --> 01:09.944
unit . It's a tremendous sense of pride

01:09.944 --> 01:12.111
for the unit that we were chosen to be

01:12.240 --> 01:14.510
depicted in this in this painting . It

01:14.510 --> 01:16.750
adds a sense of pride and a sense of a

01:16.750 --> 01:18.900
respect for our linens and honors and

01:18.900 --> 01:21.122
it really becomes part of the legacy of

01:21.122 --> 01:23.011
our units . Soldiers were able to

01:23.011 --> 01:25.122
purchase print copies of the painting

01:25.122 --> 01:24.430
after the
