Patriotic painting unveiled at Port Authority cops’ World Trade Center HQ

Port Authority police received a painting from a renowned artist that signifies law enforcement’s patriotism Tuesday as a massive donation was funneled to a charity that helps federal agents and their families.

The painting by David Banegas, called “American Flag / American Eagle,” was sponsored by philanthropist Michael Fux for “hundreds of thousands” of dollars with the proceeds going toward the Federal Enforcement Homeland Security Foundation.

The painting, which is a symbol of “unity, patriotism, and the enduring spirit of America’s law enforcement community,” was unveiled Tuesday afternoon at One World Trade Center and will be featured in the skyscraper’s Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department’s station house, foundation officials said.
