It’s a tragedy in our country that our veterans come back to civilian life with little support for their mental and physical needs. In the small town of Tulia Texas, lives an artist who knows a little something about that, and he has a plan to help. Kenneth Wyatt is a WWII vet who did not discover his artistic talent until much later, after his time in the military and after thirty two years as a pastor. Now, he wants to help vets through art therapy and, perhaps, even help them discover that, like him, they have more talent than they ever believed before.

This piece was performed and adapted by Amy Cruz and Casey Shufelt.
