The Personal Side of Military Art Prints

The presence of military art prints and posters reminds us of those men and women who give all to defend a cause in which they deeply believe.  All over the world today, many people enjoy relative peace and calm, thanks in part to those who came before them who had to fight to achieve these. Military art prints and posters also remind us of one thing – that we can live in a world without wars, if we are willing to respect each others values and aspire towards a better future for the world.

A lady once recalled that each time she gazed at military art prints hanging on a wall, it was as though she was taken back in time being present at the battles fought. Indeed, for some military art prints convey such deep messages that our emotions are stirred when we gaze at them.

Scotland Forever!

The print shown on the left titled "Scotland forever" by Lady Butler depicts one of the numerous battles fought by the Scottish to liberate themselves from English rule. Fortunately, these days, England and Scotland no more go to war over this. But several men and women paid for their lives for the peace both the Scots and English enjoy today. 

WWII Marine Woman Poster ...

The next military art print dates to the second world war, undoubtedly the most bloody conflict in human history.  It reads "Free a Marine to Fight" with a lady standing by an airplane. Interestingly, women played a very significant role in ensuring the allied victory during the second world war. Though not very much involved in actual combat, the war would not have been won had it not been for the selfless services of women who worked in the medics, battle preparation rooms and secret code decoding rooms. 

Farewell

Imagine the pain on many a woman's heart when her loved one has to leave for battle. The final embrace, the tears of sorrow and the great fear that she may never see him again. A number of military art prints capture this theme very well, like the one on the left titled "Farewell" and painted by Clay Wright. Here, a Calvary soldier says goodbye to his loved one just before he hurries off to battle to fight in the American civil war.

Keep`em Flying

Keep 'em flying is an American classic vintage military art print that was used to lure people into the Army Air Corps during World War II. Come to think of it, the second world war actually saw airpower used on a massive scale for the first time, and though unthinkable just 50 years before, winning or losing a war became strongly tied to the strength of one's air force.

The next series of military art prints show the significant role played by women during the second world war. 

Fighters

And finally, we present some of the fighter jets that form the backbone of the American air strength - the F-15 Eagle, the F-16 Falcon, the F-117 Stealth Fighter and the F-18 Hornet. These planes help keep countries around the world safe. Yet each time you see one fly by, recall that there in the cockpit sits someone who may be a father, a mother, a brother, a sister, a son, a daughter or just a friend.
