I love this representation of the Forward Observer.  

Feel free to post links to websites or galleries that enjoy.  Not looking to infringe on anyone's intellectual property just appreciate the humor or artist's ability.  
This piece was done by Pat Kelley and was purchased at the Hobbit Hobby Shop just off of Fort Bragg.

Powerful imagery.  I remember how it effected me the first time I encountered it.  My father still cannot discuss Vietnam without anger.

Very nice piece of Art looking at ART - but The Wall ITSELF is the best piece of Art Reflecting the Vietnam War Period.  No one who lived through this era and was in the United States Military can visit and not be profoundly affected.  It is the MOST emotional piece of Art I have personally experienced.  The above is okay, but really does not do justice to the emotions felt during an actual visit.

It is a terrific unit photograph, with so many taken, it takes some effort to take one that catches the eye.

Washington 1
As a former 13A, that piece made me laugh out loud.  As for me, the painting of Washington crossing the Delaware is one of my favorites.

Those were some hard men.  David McCullough provides one an appreciation for warfare during this period.

Those are some quality prints.  I have found framed prints surrounded by customized plaques and insignia make the best tokens of appreciation.  Some shops will even customize the prints themselves with last names on name tapes, unit insignia, and rank.

Of course I also have to acknowledge our Marines and their Art with, I believe one of the most recognized pieces ever.  And probably the most reproduced.  The flag raising on Iwo Jima.  The Memorial at Arlington.  The picture that was re-staged at the top of Mt. Suribachi and has been seen everywhere and finally, the picture we never see - a bunch of Marines around the flag at the top of the mountain looking like they go there the hard way.  These look like art to me.

Haven't been to Benning but the Armor museum at Fort Knox had a great gift shop with awesome Armor focused artwork.  It threw me at first though because there was a LOT of German army based pieces but at the end of the day it comes down to respecting your enemy and that was the best opponent our tankers have ever faced.  Personally I have the piece "And all hell's coming with me" that I'm a big fan of.

Big Bill Maudlin fan, he did some of the best WWII artwork out there and continued to do many pieces for many years. I have a few compilations of his work, part of my library of too many books, but I love to read and look as well.
