This story was released in February. What a wonderful thing to do.
Written by GussProject Compassion (www.heropaintings.com), a humanitarian organization which provides gallery-quality oil portraits of fallen Americans in uniform to their next of kin at no cost, announced today that the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) has awarded its Commander-in-Chief’s Gold Medal of Merit Award for 2007 to Project Compassion. Stated the VFW’s letter notifying Project Compassion of this honor: “This award is presented to individuals to recognize exceptional service rendered to their country, community and mankind on a national or intertational level.”
Commander-in-Chief Gary Kurpius will recognize Kaziah Hancock, Founding Artist and President of Project Compassion on behalf of veterans and “all those serving in uniform” at the Business Session of its annual National Community Service/Legislative Conference Monday, March 5, 2007 in Washington, D.C.
The VFW honor comes on the heels of a similar major award from the American Legion Auxiliary, the largest patriotic women’s service organization in the world, with 900,000 members, which will present its 2007 Public Service Award to Ms. Hancock immediately following the VFW event the same day at its own annual convention, also in Washington, D.C.
