2 Vintage Vietnam Signed Rocky Bleier Photos

Both of these rugged photos were signed by Rocky Bleier when he was serving in Vietnam in 1969. The man who would go on to star with the Pittsburgh Steelers and help them win four Super Bowls is pictured standing in the "Jungle" and inscribed "Vietnam 1969 PFC." It measures 13" x 13". The other is 16" x 12" and shows Bleier sitting shirtless behind sand bags and inscribed "Vietnam 1969 Pfc LZ West."It is always nice when an athlete makes a collection available to the public. As a collecting community, we are grateful for the opportunity to acquire rare and unique items from an athlete’s career. This one is extra special! For the first time, Rocky Bleier has made available his vast collection of memorabilia. Rocky is much more than an athlete. He is an American sports icon and hero. But even more impressive is the fact that he has been an inspiration to millions of people across the globe for his heroic battle back to the top of his profession as a football star. The items in his collection tell the story of Rocky’s fabled life. From his days at Xavier High School and his three time selection to the all-state team to his being Captain of the Notre Dame football squad to his battles and injuries sustained in the Vietnam War to his fight back to become a 4 time Super Bowl Champion to his life as a family man to the present day where he continues to inspire with his life story and overall kindness. This collection tells a miraculous story and we are thankful that we have the honor of handling it. On a final note, if you ever have a chance to meet Rocky Bleier in person, please take the opportunity. Having the chance to meet him, we can tell you that this man is the embodiment of a true American.
