The latest issue of INto Art magazine profiles the Veteran recovery group Elder Heart. The group promotes healing through occupational therapy in the form of art. I was recently introduced to the program by Tom Spooner who supports the program along with his brother Scot along with fellow SOF Veteran Magnus Johnson.

Lest we forget, today is Armed Forces Day in the UK. We want to honor our closest Allies as the celebrate their 5th Armed Forces Day.
Last year I was asked to spend the morning of September 11th with a friend as he fired one 7.62 round for each Navy SEAL lost since the War on Terror began 11 years before. The goal of this exercise was to create a canvas for multimedia artist Ellwood T. Risk. SOCS Dave Hall, (USN, Ret.) placed 79 shots unto the target beginning the moment the first plane hit the World Trade Center.
The result of the effort is called “Until It Hurts” and the original was auctioned off earlier this year for $17,500. Now, prints of the piece are available through Wounded Wear. We purchased a canvas print just yesterday. Get yours.
Here’s a best from the past! Man, why don’t they still make cool toys like the Mattel Tommy Burst?
You can tell its Mattel, it’s swell!
Thanks Paul Bravo for the find!

“Americans murder with everything — with cars, with knives, with frozen fish — whatever’s at hand, we’ll kill a motherfucker with it, because he needed killing and we’re a nation of go-getters.”
