About 50 pieces of art from the Air Force art collection are now on display at the Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport outside of Baltimore through July. The exhibit opened Feb. 5 in the airport’s international terminal. “It’s from this terminal that a large majority of our airmen, soldiers, sailors, and marines leave for overseas deployments and return home,” William Davidson, administrative assistant to the Air Force Secretary, said during the opening ceremony. He continued, “Having these pieces from our Air Force art collection on display here gives us the opportunity to tell the story of what our men and women in uniform are accomplishing.” (SAF/PA report by TSgt.
