Personal Courage: Skyward Angels Poster

Skyward angels descend from a military aircraft against a dramatic backdrop of fluffy white clouds. The parachutists' vibrant green canopies, marked with circular designs, contrast beautifully with the blue sky and soft, scattered clouds. The airplane, its silhouette slightly angled, reveals its wings as the parachutists glide downwards. The words "Personal Courage" are written in an elegant golden font at the top. A thin golden border frames the scene. "The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment, but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must- in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures-and that is the basis of all morality." -John F. Kennedy
