Amazing

I found, yet again, another depressing story about women combat veterns and the sexual trauma many of them have faced while in a war zone. It is really disgusting. However, while reading it, I found one of the most beautiful and amazing websites I have ever seen. A former Navy nurse who served in Iraq was raped by Iraqi men at a store in Hillah in 2003. She dissolved into depression and upon returning felt numb. During her therapy process, she begin illustrating her pain. It is some of the most striking and vivid art work I have ever seen. It just drips with raw human emotion. I encourage everyone to tour her online gallery and please, browse each tab or hit "next" toward the bottom of the first page to read what she has written or quoted. It is absolutely amazing: http://www.dianepickelplappert.com/index.html
