"American Hero" is the latest in my series depicting American heroes.  In my last three pieces I paid tribute to General George S. Patton who famously commanded the American 3rd Army during WWII.  In this piece I decided to pay tribute to Senator John McCain who is currently running for President of the United States. 

A salute is a gesture, often made by the hand, used, to display respect.  In Franklin J. Schaffner's 1970 Academy Award winning film "Patton", General George S. Patton, played by George C. Scott salutes members of the Third Army prior to delivering his famous "Blood and Guts" speech on the eve of the Allied invasion of France in 1941.  This piece is a portrayal of that moment.  It was designed using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

This was the second piece in my series depicting WWII hero General George S. Patton.  General Patton, who commanded the famous Third Army during WWII was famous for carrying a flashy ivory, handled .45 caliber Colt Single-Action revolver.  The inspiration for this piece was derived from Franklin J. Schaffner's 1970 Academy Award winning film "Patton."

Standing in front of a massive American Flag, General George S. Patton salutes members of the Third Army prior to delivering his famous Blood and Guts speech on the eve of the Allied invasion of France in 1941.  This piece is a portrayal of that moment as depicted by Franklin J. Schaffner's 1970 Academy Award winning film "Patton."  It was designed using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

This was the first of my series paying tribute to American hero General George S. Patton.
