Painting Skimmed by Bullets

We have a painting by Private John Kazanjian of Arlington, MA, with an incredible story! John served as a combat engineer in the U.S. army during World War II. Just as he completed a painting depicting a war scene from the beach in Normandy, bullets from a German war plane skimmed the surface of the canvas. Both John and the painting survived this difficult time during our history.
