bryang Posted January 14, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 14, 2021 With the 30th anniversary of the First Gulf War - and coming out of the recent holiday season - I'm posting some of my personal hand drawings from the time. I was an Intelligence Analyst in 5th Special Forces Group most of my Active Duty career. Of the 22 years I was in, a little over 15 years of it was in 5th Group (and mostly the 2nd battalion). I was known for doing simple hand-drawn cartoons of amusing things which took place around the unit, which were commonly displayed during the Battalion Commander's daily update briefing. An November 1990, I was asked by the battalion's XO if I could come up with some drawings which might be made into actual Christmas cards for the guys in the battalion to send home to their loved ones. I did 4 drawings, and the unit selected 2 of them. These were sent out and professionally printed into cards. The 5th SF Group headquarters learned of it and had more of these cards, which were subsequently distributed to the entire Group. My 2 cards are on display in the 5th Special Forces Group headquarters at Ft Campbell, KY. I've posted here a photo of my grandson, Raymond, in front of the Gulf War display there (I visit the old unit on occasion). Attached are the 4 original drawings (ink drawn, as well as colored in), as well as the envelope of a letter I sent home to my Mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
