Buck Musser has embarked on an artistic mission: to make paintings of all the local armed service members who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
Earlier this year Musser finished a painting of Native American "code talkers" who served in the Marines. He donated that painting to the Marine Reserves Bravo Company 4th Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion in Frederick .
Marine 1st Sgt. Wallace Mains said the battalion's new location not far from its current one on Rocky Springs Road will have a fitting place for Musser's painting. Mains said he expected the painting would be hung in mid-March.
"It's a really nice picture," said Marine Maj. Joe Corbett.
Corbett said that when the picture is hung a plaque will explain Musser's donation.
Giving away a painting is one of Musser's greatest pleasures, he said. Giving something to the families of the fallen is important to him.
"I owe it to them," he said.
