  
Silhouetted against the setting sun, an F-4 Phantom recovers aboard the Constellation... Bill tells us this storied warship was vital to the U.S. effort throughout the Vietnam conflict. "In the summer of 1964," he says, "the 'Connie' took station off the coast of Vietnam with Air Wing Fourteen aboard. She would be assigned to the area on seven separate occasions, her final deployment concluding with combat operations in August 1973. On July 1st of that year, she and her crew were awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for extraordinary heroism in action during the 1971-72 crisis. The Constellation and her proud crews still serve our country today." Published from the artist's original oil painting.
