He will represent the U.S. Space Force by displaying his artwork in the White House’s East Room alongside artwork from children representing the other five services.

Lucas’ artwork, a decorated mini suitcase, “was inspired by a military child’s poem last year about a ‘military suitcase’ that helps enable resiliency among the children of service members.” It includes a representation of his family’s travels in the Army and Space Force.

This is all part of a celebration honoring April’s Month of the Military Child, according to a spokesperson from WPAFB.
