Vivian. You mentioned "I can tell ya that many years ago I did a painting about the Vietnam War and was "requested" to remove it from public view." Followed shortly by "All artwork is covered under the freedom of speech". Ahh, the 60's, where many rights of free speech were trampled on if you objected to the war. Even today, they have a hard time accepting photographers taking pictures of the caskets being delivered to Dover AFB. Still a little touchy about how many kids are dying for their little wars, aren't they? It's a wake-up call for the public and an indictment on the ultimate price paid in Washington's little game of getting people killed for their little selfish reasons. JMO

I think if I did a work of art today about this war it would be 20 foot tall sculpture of nothing but arms and legs all tangled together...I just can't stand to see the photos of our young men with missing limbs from road side bombs.
I'm sure someone would request me to remove it from public view also. Or better yet set all the boots of the dead side by side on the White House lawn....now that would be a million dollar photo. Yes they have all paid the ultimate price...and that is why I can't stand to see them buried at the Middletown Cemetery without any respect at all. The City should hang it's head in shame. |
