"Hearing the individual personal stories of those who served our country selflessly was a humbling experience. Their recollections were strong, vivid and often filled with emotion. Being a part of the large team of creative people who have brought this important project to life to share with the broader community has been a privilege.”
- Lorraine MacLarty, Photographer 2016 & 2017, Artist 2017

- Max Streeter, Veteran 2015, Artist 2016
"Learning of the heroic sacrifices of all our war veterans through Mal Brian’s experience, reinforces the fact that we can never say 'Thank you' enough."
