Combat V
The Combat “V” device is a small 5/16” letter awarded to service members only when valor is clearly cited in the official citation of a combat decoration. First authorized in 1945, it was created to distinguish acts of heroism during direct engagement with the enemy.
Lately, the device has been discussed more frequently, often in the context of social media influencers who use military service and combat experience to build notoriety and wealth. These conversations are a reminder of the importance of accuracy and respect when referencing awards for valor.
The “V” represents moments of extraordinary courage. It reflects sacrifice, risk, and responsibility. It deserves to be understood for what it truly is, not mistaken for something it is not.
This piece aims to honor this small, yet powerful distinction
Print details
Printed at 11x11” on 13x19” 330 GSM hot-pressed bright archival paper, each giclee captures the fine detail and texture of the original artwork and is created for maximum longevity.
Edition Size: 25
Each print is hand-signed and individually serialized by the artist

This print is ready for framing. I highly recommend a classic black frame with a white mat for elegant contrast - though it’s your space, your call. If you’re interested in me doing the framing for you, I’m happy to provide an additional quote, but local framing is your most economical solution.
