Curtis has been through Operation Iraqi Freedom I, II and III. Certainly the things he saw will haunt him throughout life. He suffers from PTSD. To visually see the damage, check out this photo gallery showing soldiers before, during and after their combat tours. If eyes are the window to the soul, then theirs tell a very painful story.
Luckily, Curtis and the Art of War project are trying to help. Come see for yourself, at the Sol Shine – an eco-friendly urban boutique at 29th and Umatilla in Denver’s uber-hip LoHi neighborhood on scheduled rotation. Check out Curtis’ upcoming events here.
