...And Hell's Comin' With Me
Inspired
by David Bloom's accounts as he traveled with the 3rd Infantry across the
desert, ...And Hell's Comin' With Me demonstrates the incredible
speed of US and British forces as they race towards Baghdad in a 14 mile wide
column. The fierce firepower brought to bear against the tyrant Saddam
Hussein destroyed his regime in a swift and decisive blow, and the skill and
courage of America's premier tank and crew throughout the theater carries on the
honor of their namesake.
The American Bald Eagle in
the painting ...And Hell's Comin' With Me symbolizes the might and
fury of not only the US Army, but the American will and determination that
supports our troops and stand firm against tyranny.
...And Hell's Comin'
With Me is carefully reproduced on 80 lb. archival stock, each print is
individually inspected by the artist for color consistency and accuracy.

author thanks CPT Christopher W. Smith, of the Third Infantry Division.

The M1A2 Main Battle
Tank
"The M1A2
Abrams" by Mark Karvon
The M1 Abrams is
considered by many to be the best tank in the world today. Its 120mm gun makes
it lethal, while it's composite armor
keeps the crew very well protected. The M1 is powered by a 1500 HP gas turbine
engine which makes the Abrams one of the fastest tanks in the field. The M1 Abrams has proven
itself in battle during Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Mark Karvon's
depiction features the upgraded M1A2 version of the Abrams moving out across the
desert sands of Iraq accompanied by an M2 Bradley. A pair of impressive
A-10 "Warthogs" provide close air support. For a larger view, click on the

"Iron Fist"
by Rene Borst
The
Iron Fist by Rene Borst depicts the M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank
in action in the burning oil fields of Kuwait in 1991, during Operation Desert
Storm. The Abrams, unproven after 10 years (it first entered service in
the early 1980's), quickly showed its strengths in battle against its
counterpart, the Iraqi's Soviet-made T-72.
Among the many great attributes of the M1 was its thermal
sighting system, which allowed the crew to acquire and destroy targets in the
darkness of night and in the blackened, smoke-clogged deserts of Kuwait.
The Abrams had remarkable success during the conflict, and maintained
operational readiness of over 90% of the 1,800+ in theater, with only 9 lost in
battle.

The M4
Sherman Battle Tank
"Forces of Liberty" by Mark Karvon
The M4 Sherman was the primary tank of
allied forces in World War II, and was used both by the US Army and US Marine
Corps. Originally equipped with a 75mm gun, the Sherman was a match for German
armor early in the war. Against the more advanced
Tiger and Panther tanks however, the Sherman was outgunned. Late in the war, the
Sherman was upgraded with a larger and more powerful gun with enough muzzle
velocity to penetrate German armor. Still, it took real guts and steady nerves
to take a Sherman into battle against a Panther or Tiger. The M4 served well
into the Korean War, eventually being replaced by the PATTON. The M4
Sherman was exported to many countries, and used by them through much of the
20th Century. In Mark Karvon's stirring print, a pair of M4's of the late
war version ( the M4A3E8 with the HVSS suspension and the 76mm gun) are shown
with a couple of Mustangs making a low pass. The combination of air power and
armor was unstoppable in 1945. Hence the title, "Forces of Liberty".
