The man in this painting is a friend. He was a Marine in Vietnam in the mid-60's, fighting in some of the most vicious battles. Too many of his friends and fellow Marines were killed, often right beside him. Even now, nearly 50 years later, he still has nightmares about climbing a certain hill. This painting pays homage to the cost that he and his fellow Marines are still paying for our liberties. As for the title, it comes from the common order to move out: "saddle up, ladies!".
