"Bastogne Bastion" Vincent Speranza autographed sign

  • SIGNERS

  • Our latest “Sites of Valor” sign pays tribute to the men of the 101st Airborne who defended Bastogne. Surrounded and out in the cold, they weathered attacks by an enemy who held a 5:1 advantage in manpower and demanded their surrender. Their reply? “Nuts!” The 101st would hold fast and earn a Nom de guerre: “The battered bastards.” The title was a point of pride, and the paratroopers hung a sign in Bastogne to proclaim it.

    Now, a replica of that iconic sign can adorn your wall. Featuring hand-embellished weathering, each aluminum sign carries the autograph of Vincent Speranza, a 101st paratrooper who was there. Hand-signed by Vince, signs are currently available in two versions: 

    MAIN EDITION: Signature example in photo carousel. 
    MAIN EDITION (PREMIUM):     Larger size signature - Sold Out

    Whether you display yours under your favorite Bulge print, or as a backdrop to collectibles, this item is destined to become a statement piece. With a limited number worldwide, secure yours now before they're history.

    Special thanks to Rob Singer who introduced us to Vince and made this possible.
