"M-60" Kelley served as a rifleman and machine gunner
with D Company, 1st/502d Infantry, 101st Airborne
Division from Nov69 until badly wounded Sep70. Drafted
immediately upon graduation from Sacramento State
College (BA, Art), Mike has since established himself as
one of the better-known artists whose focus has been the
Vietnam experience. His works hang in numerous museums
and private collections around the world, including the
National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum in Chicago. Between
1984-91, Mike was one of two associate members of the
California Vietnam Veterans Memorial Commission whose
$2.5 million memorial now sits in Sacramento's Capitol
Park. A focus of his art and writing has been to dispel
the myths surrounding the Vietnam veteran. During the
past decade, his drawings have taken a back seat to
writing, and his articles have appeared in the
Washington Post, Boston Globe, Chicago Sun Times and
Vietnam Magazine, among others. His military awards
include the Combat Infantryman Badge, Bronze Star,
Purple Heart, Air Medal, and ARCOM.
