A New Release from Military Artist Matt Hall In the Company of Heroes

“In the COmpany of Heroes” is a painting rooted in more than just visual artist Matt Hall’s masterful creativity – the event portrayed actually happened.
In December 2004, Valor Studios, an art and magazine publisher, funded a charitable trip to bring six veterans of Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division – the famous “Band of Brothers” – to Germany to meet the 1st Armored Division troops who had recently returned from Iraq.
On the 60th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, the group traveled to Bastogne to revisit the veterans’ old foxholes woth their younger counterparts. But on the way to Bastogne, the tour’s host had arrainged for the veterans to visit Luxembourg American Cemetary, where their fallen comrades are buried. “In the Company of Heroes” depicts the hallowed moment.
Walking through the sea of crosses and Stars of David, the veterans came to the headstones of hteir buddies to pay tribute. They later agreed that it was their most poignant gathering since they left Europe in 1945.
Upon returing from the trip, the veterans were eager to have their experience commemorated in a painting, and Matt Hall – a frequent illustrator for the American Legion Magazine – was commissioned.
