Take time out of your busy schedule today to appreciate and honor our military veterans. The Combat Paper Project is an exhibition of our veterans' artwork. Throughout history, soldiers wrote about their war stories to loved ones in letters and diaries. Today, veterans are sharing their personal experiences by writing on a special kind of paper. They are turning their old uniforms worn in combat into paper by using a special paper-making process. This process involves cutting up the uniforms, cooking it in a soda ash solution, pulping, then pressing the paper into sheets. Just throw some blood, courage, and loyalty into that soda ash solution and you have a work of art. See what our soldiers went through at the Vietnam Era Museum and Education Center and other exhibits throughout the year.
