Along with his land/sea/skyscape work, Mr. Alpert has been making military paintings for donation to non-profit organizations including Fisher House and The Bob Woodruff Foundation that assist Veterans and their families. 

Additionally, now an author, Mr. Alpert has written a book about his endeavors with the military images and what life-changing events that occurred as a result of donating the paintings that changed him forever.  “Worth Fighting For; One Man’s Journey,” will be released on Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2011, by Library Tales Publishing.
