TOM NIELSEN

Artist and VVI Founding Member  

The Last Patrol and Colors of Courage were painted by Mr. Nielsen and are available through the VVI as fine art lithographs.

He also designed the Congressional POW/MIA Medallion, which was presented to the next of kin, and designed and painted the poignant image of the Chained Eagle, which became our national symbol for those still POW or MIA as a result of the Vietnam War. 

Mr. Nielsen is one of the nation’s foremost portrait artists in addition to serving on the Board of Directors of VVI.
