This website is
dedicated to the Veterans of the United
States of America who are and have honorably
served their country in times of war and
peace. From the Revolutionary War to the
present time, to be a veteran in the service
of his or her country is a noble and
honorable thing. This website is also
dedicated to bringing out the talents and
artistic skills and abilities of veterans and giving them a place to display,
and share with others, their concepts and
ideas in all areas of artistic expression.
As a veteran artist, whether your
medium is musical, visual, written and or
poetic we welcome you to explore and
experience the talents of other veterans and, if you as a veteran
artist are so inspired, to share your
skills and talents with other visitors that
come to this website. We welcome you to
apply for and become a part of this website
community.
However, that being said, this is also a place for
those who are suffering the results of PTSD
(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) from their
military experiences. After suffering with
this disorder for nearly four (4) decades,
because of my tour of duty in Vietnam, I was
finally diagnosed with moderate to severe PTSD. In learning about this disorder I
tried to understand, research and educate
myself on exactly what it was and how it
affected my behavior all these years since
returning from Vietnam. I began to direct my
emotions and energies into the creative
fields of writing, music and art. Examples
of my works are displayed, and available for
sale, on this website. Portions of all sales
are donated to veterans causes.
Please explore the website and go to the blog site
where more in depth discussions of veterans’
issues will be found. Whether you're just
visiting or participating in some way, we
hope your experience with this website has
been beneficial to you and that you will
encourage other veterans to visit also.

Sincerely
yours,
