          While visiting the 196th LIB I went on an aerial reconnaissance flight. Two radio officers looked out the open door of a Huey and radioed back information about what they were observing as the craft flew above an area of interest. The next day I would be on the ground with a patrol in the area being observed. This pen and ink drawing depicts one of the officers at work on the floor, looking out the door of a "huey."

          CAT: Waiting and Lonesome

          Lonesome: Being overseas, away from family, friends, and familiar places by itself can be emotionally draining on any soldier. Throw into that mix having to go out on a patrol where danger and all kinds of physical hardships have to be injured. I did this painting as a result of my visit with 199th LIB in Vietnam. I tried to capture the emotional drain war can have on an individual. How after coming back from patrol a soldier can be emotionally and physically exhausted. Waiting: While visiting the 199th LIB I sat around waiting with the soldiers I would soon be going on patrol with. In the gouache sketch I tried to express the melancholy feelings that accompanied the wait. Two prints on foam board.

          While working as a soldier artist in Vietnam I visited 199th LIB. At the time of my visit they captured two VC suspects and were interrogating them. I did sketches and this watercolor interpreting this experience. Watercolor print on foam board.

          CAT: Waiting to Lift Off

          Waiting to lift off was inspired by a trip fellow artist Sam Alexander and I made to the 93rd setting in less than an hour after being wounded. "Dust Off" was the tactical call sign we used by aid ambulances. Flying into an active landing zone to pick up wounded was a dangerous job. We now know that pilots, crew chiefs, and accompanying medical corpsmen stood a 1 in 3 chance of being injured, wounded, or killed in their line of work. I didn't fly on a "Dust Off" but did at least two related paintings out of respect for these brave soldiers who put their lives at risk daily for others. Ink/watercolor print on foam board.
