God Given Daisies — by Carole Devecka
Honoring Those
Who Serve
I write grants for different non-profit
organizations located in our county. One organization is "The Colonel
Charles Waterhouse Historical Art Museum." This museum is unique. Colonel Waterhouse, is a living historical artist, and a Veteran of
three wars.
I have learned so much of American history from
the Revolutionary days till today, just studying his paintings and sculptures.
Each has such realism that they look more like true color photographs than a
painting.
The faces in each painting
brings the realism of pain and anguish that our military men and women see
and live through. Even my grandchildren have remarked that you could see the
sweat and worry on the faces in the paintings. (Great insight
and appreciation of art in these youngsters.)
In discussing what our military forces go through
on a daily basis, I have asked them to "Adopt A
Troup" or "Adopt a Vet" and pray for these individuals, and to
write and send cards to the wounded soldiers.
I am asking that each of you do the same.
Thanksgiving and Christmas is an especially hard time for them.
You can buy inexpensive greeting cards at a $1
store and write a little note of encouragement. (Or play designing one on the
computer.) That's the least we can do
for those that give so much.
Remember to thank them with a message of love and
cheer. No Politics!
Here is one address I have. But, there are others
too.
