Artwork and lettering

The word "Proud Wife" tops the design in large, weathered gold lettering, followed by "of a Vietnam Veteran" in the same bold style. A soaring eagle dominates the center, wings spread wide and detailed with fine lines, anchored by a military ribbon striped in red, yellow, and green. Stars scatter throughout the composition, and the lettering carries a distressed finish that echoes the passage of time and the enduring nature of sacrifice. The entire piece sits on a field of subtle horizontal stripes, evoking the American flag while keeping the focus on the message that ties it all together.
