Sgt. Kristopher J. Battles, the combat artist with the National Museum of the Marine Corps, stands in front of his paintings, May 5, 2010, at the John F. Kennedy School of Government for Harvard University. Battles showed several paintings, sketches and portraits for residents and tourists to see the artwork of a combat artist, in Cambridge, Mass., to help tell the Marine Corps story during Marine Week.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

A few years back I started following Michael Fay's blog (a Marine artist) who introduced Kristopher Battles. Both men are amazing artists. Fay is retiring and headed to Afghanistan to embed as a free lance corespondant. I hope he continues to blog his art.
thank you for introducing me to military artists...
