As the first week of the Vet Art Project draws near, we have shared many moments of great insight and witnessed many precious jewels revealed. I invite you to add your favorites here. Here's my list so far:--The reverent silence of the artists the first night when Bob and John from Dryhootch.org opened up and shared their life journeys and their challenges with PTSD.
--Hearing two male combat veterans thank another female veteran for her service, off the field of combat, and letting her know that her service was equally as valuable.
--Witnessing the stories of two combat veterans, whose experiences are separated by 40 years, yet their journeys back are similar.
--A female veteran opening up to share her story with a reporter while she made a collage in words and pictures
