Peace Is A Choice

National Veterans Art Museum

Christmas is over and I have started daydreaming about the presents ahead…meaning the days opening before me, each a gift with unlimited possibilities…that is Lord willing and the creek don’t rise, as my high school choir teacher would often say.  In my daydreaming frenzy I ran across http://www.nvvam.org/ which is an art museum in Chicago that features art work by veterans, especially Vietnam veterans. It is a place of healing, remembering, coping, and understanding the realities of war. It is a place for present peace.

This is a link to a youtube video about the museum and an amazing exhibit with dogtags from all the soldiers that served and died in Vietnam: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFYG68X5ZnM
