Remembering and Thanking Our Veterans Today November 11

"It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the organizer, who gave us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag." – Father Dennis Edward O’Brien, USMC

Thank you to all that served and are still serving.

Unveiled: See Amber Cowan's 2014 Rakow Commission Piece

Amber Cowan flameworks, fuses and hot-sculpts recycled, upcycled and second-life glass, usually American pressed glass from the 1940s to 1980s, to create contemporary sculpture that preserves the memory of the earlier objects. Her winning Rakow Commission Piece is showing in the left lower hand corner. http://www.cmog.org/bio/amber-cowan
