It's Not Rude: These Portraits Of Wounded Vets Are Meant To Be Stared At (GRAPHIC WARNING)

20. It's not me, it's the students who did this

I'm just one of many hundreds of supporters who show up at the fundraising breakfasts and dinners and buy the T-shirts--and sometimes post reports on what others are doing. That's all I did.

I just happen to be situated where I can share a perspective from our community. I also happen to know the amazing teacher involved, Jamie Goodreau, because we've worked together on many projects and we've co-chaired a committee together on another veterans project. I know Jerral, but I wouldn't count myself as one of his intimate friends. We're battle brothers across the eras, but he has many of them.

There's a major distinction between my "work" and the actual work of the OATH students and Jamie and the staff of some of the supporting organizations who stayed intiimately involved throughout the project. They are the folks who did the work. Not me.
