U.S. Veterans give us Freedom—<br />

American Healing Arts Foundation gives them Hope!<br />

As founder of the non-profit, 501c3<br />

veteran charity, American Healing Arts<br />

Foundation (AHAF), I’d like to thank our<br />

great American Veterans. Post-traumatic<br />

stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain<br />

injury (TBI) and military sexual assaults<br />

(MSA) remain high for both wounded<br />

and uninjured soldiers, plus the suicide<br />

and divorce rates continue to soar.<br />

AHAF is about healing through the<br />

arts and art therapy in a drug free<br />

environment; giving veterans the<br />

ability to interact with award-winning<br />

instructors, witness their own creative<br />

side, offer an art career opportunity and<br />

exercise the power of rehabilitation. Art<br />

is proven to be a great form of therapy<br />

for victims.<br />

Our major challenge is reaching veterans<br />

to let them know of our program, plus<br />

the need of volunteers, sponsors and<br />

donations. We offer veterans free art<br />

classes in painting, sketching, poetry, clay<br />

sculpting, harmonica, jewelry classes and<br />

more. These art classes are intended to<br />

reunite veterans with their fellow veterans,<br />

away from hospitals and the battlefield, in<br />

a friendly peaceful drug-free environment.<br />

Please give a special thank you to our<br />

Board of Directors, Dennis and Judy<br />

Long, Atalanta and Flo Blanding.<br />

God Bless America,<br />
