“The Veterans” Signed Print (unframed)

Story Behind the Art:

All across England, they prepare to jump. The “Screaming Eagles,” the “All-American” boys, the British “Red Devils,” soon the troop carrier transports will whisk them away for World War II’s largest airborne invasion to date: Operation Market Garden, a surprise jump to secure vital bridges and roadways in Holland.

Among these units is Easy Company, 506th PIR, seen here. On this morning, the company’s veterans give the new replacements a helping hand. Checking harnesses, uttering encouragements, the veterans’ bravado will settle the rookies’ nerves. Someday, when the new guys look back, they’ll understand: it’s just another day in a company of heroes.

This fine art print by James Dietz is signed and numbered by the author and four Market Garden Veterans; E-Co. medic Al Mampre, depicted in “The Veterans”, C-47 pilot Don Shady, 82nd glider trooper Richard Rohleder and 101st Airborne icon Lou Venditti. Includes a certificate of authenticity. Print measures about 32”w x 20”h unframed.
