Many Veterans never got a chance to tell their own story until now!
"Veterans are the light at the tip of the candle, illuminating the way for the whole nation.
If Veterans can achieve awareness, transformation, understanding and peace, they can share with the rest of society the realities of war.
And they can teach us how to make peace with ourselves and each other, so we never have to use violence to resolve conflicts again"
- Thicht Nhat Hanh​
The San Francisco Veterans Mural Project (Veterans Alley) is a community based mural project located in San Francisco's Tenderloin District. The project consists of murals, covering over 30,000 sq. feet of public facing walls in an alley, where veterans paint their own stories about the true reality of WAR and the military experience.
