Outstanding! Thank you for posting!
Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Michael D. Fay Combat Illustrator Draws On Marine Life
I look forward to it, thank you so much for adding it to the thread!
I have to tell you, I have loved doing this and the art work is amazing.
I am going to see if I can find a way to contact the artist's (artist's family)and share the thread so they can see how much their artwork has touched those on FR.
As said in an earlier comment, I would love to own a signed copy of any of these rendering's.
Again thanks for the appreciation, it makes putting this together really a labor of love, for our troops, for these fine artists and my fellow Freeper's!

and to comment 1 as well
Thank you for this great thread, FMC!
Here are some more amazing paintings. Their work is just astounding. By the way, the next addition's will be actual photographs by our troops. Equally as talented as the one's I have already posted.
Because of some of the threads I posted today, I went ahead and copied your names to this thread, I thought this might help you forget the likes of the left with Robert's, a guy seems to think sport's is more important than his wife. It is not a formal PING list, I had hoped these would be enjoyed by all and shared with family and friends.
These might take a moment to download, but I have to tell you it is well worth it, that little extra size just increases it's visual appeal. Not interested in future addition's to this thread, PM, and I will happily comply.
Hunting Al Qaeda"Hunting Al Qaeda" represents a new era for Naval Special Warfare and the
U.S. Navy SEALs.
Rock Portage Rock Portage recalls one of the most daunting challenge of the BUDS training
"The Big E" - The USS Enterprise in Action Carrier Action in WWII is ablaze with aerial combat.
Son Tay Raid Blue Boy Element The print is a tribute to one of the most daring military exploits ever executed
by the famed United States Army's Green Berets.
Special Forces Battle Tanks at Lang Vei The print recreates the historical battle at Lang Vei when
American ground troops first battled enemy armor in Viet Nam.
Enduring Freedom The print honors the actions of United States soldiers fighting in Afghanistan.
Nothing Fails Due to LogisticsThe first modern limited edition art print that honors the Army Logistician!
We Were FirstThe print honors the African American Paratroopers that
fought for the freedom and the soul of America during World War II.
DISCOM in the Field The print honors DISCOM soldiers who are the first deployed and last to leave.
Help Is On The Way The first print in The Red Cross in Action Series
about WWII by M&M Art Ltd. artists. Blood coming to the forward
area was as necessary as food or ammunition and always a welcome sight.
The Letter Home Honors the selfless dedication to service of the tens of thousands of American women that served as Red Cross nurses during World War II.
Some of these pics are jaw-dropping, like "Son Tay Raid Blue Boy Element" and "Enduring Freedom".
Bless the soldier.
Ping for some more fine art!
Great stuff!
ping....
Very cool -- thanks for the ping.
Yeah, I think that the image you've highlighted is probably my favorite as well -- it's excellent.
Thank you again, FMC. Truly fabulous. They would make a great book, and might get seen by the public more. Everyone should see these. The talent and emotion that go into these is amazing. And then I think of that disgusting flag in toilet scene that was in a federal building....These pictures here should be gracing the walls of every federal building in the Country.
Simply beautiful. Thank you so much. :)
Thanks, and BTTT.
Thanks for the ping.
I just wanted to say that I am terribly sorry for any heartache I caused by Pinging you to this thread with the artwork within the PING.
I have been given a couple of suggestion's that I format and post them to the thread and PING them to me and all. Then to go to the next comment Pinging to the rest of the Freeper's pointing to the comment # where they reside.
To those who have had difficulty with the way I have done it before, would this be a better method? Any other suggestions? Open to all.
On an update note. I had mentioned that I thought it would be neat to see if perhaps these artists might be willing to do some type of charity event where their works were sold, signed and a portion going to those injured while at war.
I have seen so much interest that I think it might work.
But, in doing research on the artist's I have been unable to find some way to contact them. I have written the website's that I have found their work on but their replies that they have no way to contact them.
Another I contacted responded graciously with the same reply. He however sells CDs with military history/pictures. He said that the work of these fine men are on the CD's which is terrific. I had mentioned that there are folks that would like to buy his work. His reply, that you can pick up the CD, than take it to Wal-Mart and have it made into a wall hanging. I thought that was an excellent idea, but, I do have concerns, how does the person whose work we desire is compensated for their work. It give's me pause, any thoughts on where I should go from there is always welcome?
I, personally would not copy the artist's work without permission-it just would not sit right with me- but others will do what they please without judgment from me.
