Military Art Therapy

while watching oprah today,
i learned a lot about women who come home
from serving.

many of the women get raped,
and i never really thought of that.

also, many come home
homeless and all.
losing everything.

what i did know is that overall,
no matter who you were
many could come home
mentally or physically scarred.

this reminded me of an episode of the view i saw
a while back.
america ferrera was on it, and talked about her military movie, 
"The Dry Land"
and how inspired she was.
she ended up buying art made by veterans
it's a therapy for war veterans
to release the feelings they have suffered from
after coming home from the war.
it really inspired me
and i thought it was a genius idea.
here's the clip:
