Against terrible odds, strategically located Wake Island
was defended by a handful of brave Americans during the opening 'days of infamy' in December, 1941. Isolated and alone against the might of the Japanese Navy, this intrepid group held their own on land and in the air for weeks, inspiring a nation and establishing fame for the Marine Corp. Now this valiant group has been honored in a beautiful, Limited-Edition lithograph by artist John D. Shaw. Each print has been personally autographed by the artist and veterans of this epic conflict, which truly was a Magnificent Fight. This lithograph honors all of the Americans who served at Wake Island so honorably in the opening days of the U.S. entry into World War II.
This lithograph honors all of the Americans who served at Wake Island so honorably in the opening days of the U.S. entry into World War II and is the first ever signed by many representatives who served there in a variety of capacities.
