Veterans Day

Artist Spotlight: Cody Vance

Cody Vance, a talented artist and veteran, explores a range of portraits, some familiar faces to him and others paying homage through the decades as he celebrates Veterans Day through his piece.

Get to know Cody:

Cody Vance is a veteran and artist living in San Antonio, Texas. During the week he's a medical illustrator, assisting military physicians in visualizing their research and healthcare for their patients. When the weekend arrives, it's playtime! He may begin his morning in the drawing room, a pencil or paintbrush in one hand, coffee in the other, music going always. Eventually, Cody will migrate to his workshop where stone, steel and ceramic sculptures await.

In Cody's's Words:

My piece for CCSWB Veterans Day is a hand-drawn collage of uniformed members from all services and various times throughout history: WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, plus a couple of spotlights like a Tuskegee Airman and Navajo code talker. The majority of faces you'll see are my own family, which was quite the realization and a bit of education on my part to fill in gaps of unknown parts of familiar lives. I intentionally chose not to draw representations of weaponry or other similar items - I wanted to show the human instead. We're people - brothers, sisters, husbands, wives - who chose to serve our country for various reasons. The bonds that are made while serving run deep and the intra-service camaraderie (or playful chiding) are as colorful and strong as the humans themselves. We come from many places, backgrounds, languages and beliefs. When you spend most of your early adulthood in close contact and in some cases, extreme situations, with people different from yourself, you realize that you're better for it, and truly not so different after all.

At CCSWB, we live and work in the communities we serve. Through active volunteerism and millions of dollars in annual cash and product contributions, we're invested in helping our communities thrive. Our associates are just as diverse as the products we produce, and we care about what's important to them. We support their heritage, culture, legacy, tradition and what makes them each unique.

Sometimes, words aren't enough to capture personal experience. But as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and through art, we can gain a better understanding of the world around us.

This year, CCSWB's Community Canvas is celebrating heritage by showcasing artists from Texas and Oklahoma. We value the abundant diversity in our communities and are proud to support organizations that do the same.

Education

We're committed to helping students fulfill their personal goals. Since 2021, we have donated more than $1 million in laptops to Texas high school and college-bound students.

Empowerment

We promote economic opportunity and job creation in our communities. Through volunteerism and donations, we support women-owned and minority-owned enterprises, veterans, and small businesses to advance growth and opportunity across our region.

Environment

We purchase 100% renewable energy across all our Texas-based deregulated locations — the first long-term energy contract of this size among North American Coca-Cola bottlers.
