The artwork explained

A pair of weathered tan combat boots stands side by side at the center of the print, with loose laces draping down the sides. Two silver dog tags hang from the boot laces, resting against the front of the footwear. Arched above the boots is the phrase IN MEMORY 58,479 BROTHERS AND SISTERS in distressed block lettering. Below the boots, the text continues with WHO NEVER RETURNED followed by VIETNAM WAR 1969 - 1975. The color palette uses muted whites and tans that mimic the appearance of aged paper or faded fabric. This visual arrangement transforms standard military gear into a permanent memorial for the specific loss count associated with this war.
