The Generosity of Artists has always astounded…

by NDK Creative Artist

The generosity of artists has always astounded me, though there are exceptions in every art, just as there are in the world; we are, after all, human beings, and some are just a bit more human than others, which means, in my cognizance that they exemplify the best that humanity has to offer. Before I present an example of such generosity, I should make it very clear that I do not support the American war effort in Iraq. I have followed this war as closely as anybody can in the media and I am certain that America’s position is wrong now, and was wrong in the beginning.

The war is about the oil, and it is not a war about democracy, which can never be created at the point of a gun by another nation, but must arise from within. But there is a human cost, that this fine artist, Hancock, has elected to honor and remember with her work to honor those who have fallen. And it is good work, I hope it succors those who have lost their loved ones, and reminds generations to come of what is lost.
