Collector’s Note

This powerful monochromatic portrait immortalizes Master Sergeant Jerry "Mad Dog" Shriver, one of the most decorated warriors of the MACV-SOG during the Vietnam War. Known for his fearless leadership in the clandestine "Secret War," Shriver remains a mythic figure in Special Forces history following his disappearance in Cambodia in 1969. Through a high-contrast acrylic technique, A. Suksomai captures the intensity and grit of Shriver’s service, creating a piece that is as much a historical tribute as it is a work of fine art. An essential acquisition for military historians and collectors of elite unit heritage.
