YOU’RE INVITED: OCT 15 ART RECEPTION TO HELP WOUNDED VETS
You’re invited to attend an art exhibition opening reception, featuring photographs of wounded veterans by Rockport-based artist, Thi Linh Wernau. “YOU. ARE. BEAUTIFUL. – A Tribute to Warriors” will feature 35 photographs from a series intended to honor the sacrifice of our wounded veterans, empower them with a vehicle for voice through art and inspire and help other veterans in need. A number of the veterans in this project will be in attendance at the reception.
In addition, the evening will help raise awareness of the invisible wounds of war, especially PTSD (post-traumatic stress) and TBI (traumatic brain injuries). The event will help support The Red Sox Foundation and Mass General Hospital Home Base Program, who provide clinical services to veterans and their families. Complimentary drinks and light appetizers will be provided. Attendance is free, but RSVP is requested by October 8.

EJ -Thi Linh Wernau Fellow veterans who have give their all! Thnak you from within!
Excellent Cause I only wish I could be their in person the bond never leaves you I know I have walked the path – but there are other ways I can help even from across the big pond!
Dedication to those who have walked the path and those who will follow:
Hold on to what is good, Even if it’s a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe, Even if it’s a tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do, even if it’s a long way from here.
Hold on to your life, Even if it’s easier to let go.
Hold on to my hand, Even if someday I’ll be gone away from you.
