For example, on a trip to California there was a painting of a fallen soldier on the side of a warehouse, although that may not seem like much to some (generally those who seem to be against graffiti) can mean a lot to others who think about what they are looking at and have a background in art. The soldier next to the warehouse approached me because my brother was a Marine before he was discharged for a medical condition he contracted while stationed at an out-of-state base. That soldier showed me that much worse could have happened to my brother than a back injury and that I should be grateful that he is still alive unlike so many others who are fighting for our country. If people are able to connect with painted art, they will most likely accept it more rather than calling it art destruction.
