A Million Thanks letters

Part of the exhibition Noelle Carr: A Veterans Memorial Garden, is a box for guests to leave their own letters of thanks to the troops that will be sent via the A Million Thanks organization. I displayed some letters made by local children at the exhibit. Their drawings and letters are so special, and so touching, and I hope they bring a smile to a soldier far away from home.

"Artistic Tribute" story in Arts & Leisure section of Hersam-Acorn newpapers on November 5, 2009

The November 5, 2009 edition of Hersam-Acorn newspapers ran a story about the Noelle Carr: A Veterans Memorial Garden exhibit in the Arts & Leisure section. The writer, Jeannette Ross, did a wonderful job capturing the mission of the show, and I hope the story will help raise awareness about Veterans Day, our troops fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the global war on terror, as well as the non-profit organizations Wounded Warrior Project and A Million Thanks.

Noelle Carr exhibit "A Veterans Memorial Garden" at Ridgefield Library

A Veterans Memorial Garden is an exhibition to honor American Veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and the global war on terror. My intent is to express gratitude to our troops and their families and remember all of the men and women who have served in America's Armed Forces, especially our fallen heroes.

The opening reception is Saturday, November 7 from 3-5 pm, and the show will run through November 29. A Veterans Memorial Garden will include an A Million Thanks receptacle for visitors to leave their own letters of thanks to the troops that will be sent at the close of the exhibit.
