The story in the artwork

The design centers on a photograph of the USS Boulder LST-1190, a landing ship that moved troops and supplies across open water during her years of service. The ship appears in full profile against blue sky and sea, sitting solid and purposeful in the frame. Above it, white lettering declares "Never underestimate an old man," with the words "Old man" highlighted in bright blue to draw the eye. Below the vessel, more text continues "Who served on USS Boulder LST-1190" in matching blue. Military stars frame the message on both sides, adding the ceremonial weight of Veterans Day to the whole composition. Together, these elements tell the story of a working ship and the men who trusted her with their lives.
