Drexel will host an exhibit of selected pieces of patriot art from artist-soldier Poto Leifi's Freedom's on Me collection in celebration of Memorial Day.
Leifi is a California commercial artist-turned soldier who thought the
U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan and Iraq should be remembered full of
life and in a way that celebrated their patriotism. He used his talent as an artist to create posters in remembrance of these fallen heroes in a vintage
style that evokes the "Rosie the Riveter" and "Uncle Sam Wants You!"
recruiting posters of World War II.
He calls his project Freedom's on Me.

This event is sponsored by Veteran Student Services and the Good Idea Fund.
