Veterans View

The currant exhibit at the National Veterans Art Museum, which I think is in Chicago, is "100 Faces of War"

The exhibition will be on view from November 11, 2014 through May 1, 2015.

The 100 Faces of War Experience is an open contemplation of the American experience of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It consists of portraits of 100 veterans who were chosen to represent the statistical demographics of the American involvement in these conflicts. Each person was asked to provide the words that accompany their portrait. They are allowed total freedom in what they want to say. This exhibition is timed to coincide with the official end of war in Afghanistan and it is meant to be a place of open contemplation upon the American experience of these wars.

They show thumbnails of all 100 faces, but not their thoughts, you have to see the exhibition for that.

Of course faux news will tell us what's what so we've got that going for us.
