Operation Combat Candor

Posted by John Krotec on Monday Nov 14, 2016 11:11 pm

combatcandor PROJECT: Bravo748 and GreenZone Hero are teaming up to honor all branches of American Combat Veterans and Gold Star Families. As companies connected to serving and working with Veterans, our hope is to share publicly and collectively, the truth of what it means to pay the ultimate sacrifice, laying one's life down for friends. Military combat men and women, and their families live with courage, commitment, and character each and every day. Along our way, we have been privileged to meet many Veterans and Gold Star Family Members who have shared their pain with us - through their stories, music, poetry, tears, and touch. We invite American Combat Veterans and Gold Star Families to submit two poems that tell the story of your personal sacrifice - one representing the truth of your conflict along with one representing the truth of your healing. PROCESS: Combat Veterans and Gold Star Family Members (Mother, Father, Sibling) are invited to submit two synchronized poems. Poem 1: Conflict. Depict your truth of loss, pain, stigma, and/or sadness experienced during deployment, return from deployment, transition, loss of friend or family. Poem 2: Healing. Depict your truth of the journey from conflict to one of healing, hope, community, and/or connections. CRITERIA and POEMS SUBMISSION:
