 Exit Wounds: Combat Trauma and Trials of Homecoming
Photos of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans by Jim Lommasson.
Over two thousand photos by the soldiers taken while in country, including interviews and writing by the soldiers.

The Myth of Return
Photographer Jim Lommasson will present a series of photographs and interviews with American veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The soldiers speak the truth about war, their participation, and the effects on themselves and those caught in the crossfire. This exhibit examines and raises questions about a generation of soldiers largely invisible to the American public. The stories are profound and timeless. Returning soldiers have always had to process the real and transformative traumas of battle while integrating into a new civilian culture that lacks the clarity, meaning, and sense of ‘mission’ that war can provide. But how will these returning ‘silent warriors’ shape the social fabric into which they must now incorporate? With bodies and minds completely attuned to the violence and exigencies of war, what is the psychic space these young veterans inhabit after their tours? What happens when battle-bred virtues, such as a heroic disregard for one’s life and pain, become a liability or even contemptible in their new home? Exit Wounds looks at some of the trials of reintegration for this generation of invisible warriors and asks whether they do in fact get to ‘come home.’

The Myth of Return
Photographer Jim Lommasson will present a series of photographs and interviews with American veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The soldiers speak the truth about war, their participation, and the effects on themselves and those caught in the crossfire. This exhibit examines and raises questions about a generation of soldiers largely invisible to the American public. The stories are profound and timeless. Returning soldiers have always had to process the real and transformative traumas of battle while integrating into a new civilian culture that lacks the clarity, meaning, and sense of ‘mission’ that war can provide. But how will these returning ‘silent warriors’ shape the social fabric into which they must now incorporate? With bodies and minds completely attuned to the violence and exigencies of war, what is the psychic space these young veterans inhabit after their tours? What happens when battle-bred virtues, such as a heroic disregard for one’s life and pain, become a liability or even contemptible in their new home? Exit Wounds looks at some of the trials of reintegration for this generation of invisible warriors and asks whether they do in fact get to ‘come home.’

On December 6th from 12-5pm Re:Mediation
will be hosting an event at Trillium Charter School to raise awareness
about the civilian costs of war on both sides of the conflict in the
Middle East. In addition to raising awareness, the group hopes to raise
funds for the purpose of alleviating some of the stresses caused by
this conflict. Proceeds will be used in the best ways possible, whether
that means providing our own direct help or in aiding other groups with
similar goals. The vision of this event is to create community
consciousness around how the world’s people are affected by war,
reaching across to both sides of the fence and collaborating and
educating on what we can do to help, while also accumulating funds to
reinforce the cause.
Throughout the evening there will be student power points, public
speakers, live music, traditional cuisine, dance performances and
African drumming. We are also encouraging open mic sessions so that
everyone has a chance to voice their ideas, opinions and thoughts.
Having open conversation and dealing with these topics on a community
level is key to our organization, and we invite all people to be apart
of this.
Child care will be available, and there will also be a recommended donation, though no one will be turned away.
Please contact us via phone or email if you have any questions or concerns.
The event is located at Trillium Charter School 5420 N Interstate Ave. 97217

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
We, having dutifully served our nation, do hereby affirm our greater responsibility to serve the cause of world peace. To this end we will work, with others
(a) Toward increasing public awareness of the costs of war.
(b) To restrain our government from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations
(c) To end the arms race and to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons
(d) To seek justice for veterans and victims of war
(e) To abolish war as an instrument of national policy.
To achieve these goals, members of Veterans For Peace pledge to use non-violent means and to maintain an organization that is both democratic and open with the understanding that all members are trusted to act in the best interests of the group for the larger purpose of world peace.
We urge all people who share this vision to join us.

9 am - 4 pm: Portland Winter Soldier
Winter Soldier was first held in 1971, when veterans of the Vietnam War gathered in Washington DC to testify about the atrocities they had committed or witnessed during the war. Now, Iraq Veterans Against the War have resurrected the tradition by holding a number of Winter Soldier events, including here in Portland on October 18. Veterans' testimonies, recorded in Portland in October, will be followed by a live forum with Iraq war vets and civilian victims of Occupation.
