Description
This is a special painting to me. It was a commission done for a good friend of mine as a gift for her husband. He had served in the Huey MedEvac helicopters while in the U.S. Army in Germany. That would be enough to make it special for me but as it happens, I am an Army veteran as well and during my service in Vietnam, I had occasion to serve on Huey MedEvac missions there. I had thought many times about doing a painting like this but just had never done it. The commission gave me that opportunity.
the Huey was a marvelous helicopter and the people who flew them (in my experience) were unbelievably talented and courageous. They went right to where the very real and very present danger was and saved countless lives. This painting will serve as my tribute to them.
