Thank you Rodger Asai for bringing The Remembrance Rug to С��è��ý Cascade Campus for the VetSuccess on Campus (VSOC) Open House, and to Rock Creek Campus on November 9th and Southeast Campus on the 10th and 12th as part of С��è��ý’s Veterans Week Tributes. It’s very powerful and thanks to you has now been seen at all four С��è��ý Campuses!

I’d also like to thank Cascade Multimedia/Dragon Wehr Productions’ Keith Shuman for showing the Voices of Veterans video (vignettes by С��è��ý Vets about their time in the US Military), and Stephanie Cornes of the Rock Creek Veterans Resource Center for bringing War Ink to the Cascade VSOC Open House.

In the portion of the story about the Remembrance Rug – the word “None” should be “Many…not.”. As in:

“Many of the people memorialized on the Remembrance Rug are not included in any existing war monuments or memorials.”

There are already various virtual (on-line) memorials for many. Much of the source material for the Rug comes from these. While the rug exists physically and can be held, touched, stroked – it is just one more type of Memorial that includes many that do not happen to meet the criteria of most virtual ones.

It simply endeavors to be inclusive.
