Snot Monsters by Mark Bartholomew

Poetry

I served as a combat medic in Iraq.  I came home with PTSD and a traumatic brain injury. I got involved with TJF finding art and writing to be a path to healing. 

The Guggenheim by Gail Bryant 

Written story with video

My name is Gail Ashby Bryant. I am a Proud Veteran of the US Army. I went in as a cook and came out as a Chef (according to my DD 214). I am a Native New Yorker. I retired from 30 years as a Social Worker to beautiful NC in 2012. My first love is writing. Thanks to my teacher and muse June Guralnick I was able to join with my other Veteran Sisters and Brothers. My deep gratitude goes to the Joel Fund and the fabulous, hardworking Isabella Brezenski for providing the inspiration and venue to showcase our Art. Peace and Love, Gail
