What is the T-Barrier Art Project?
- In a dull world of concrete and razor-wire, T-Barriers provide safty, security and in this fashion color and art. Something worth looking at and saying hmmmm. This project is something I decided to do when I arrived in Iraq. I saw some great art done by military members and didn't want to see it all go forgotten. So I started to make my rounds and gathering as many of these as possible. Half the fun has been finding them. These things are all over the place, around work areas, housing/tents, AAFES (the mall) just everywhere!
Well I will be leaving the AOR kinda soon-ish ish and am really hoping someone over there can either keep this going and email them to me or I can send you the info on this so you can continue the updates. I still have a good hand-full of barriers saved on my hard drive I am going to up load for you all to see. But once I am out I am afraid I am out. Hope you enjoy some historic art. These things get destroyed after we leave these places (when is that again?)
Immediate attention required!

Attention all military members who've been wounded in OIF/OEF, there is an organization called salute America's heroes that wants to give you $500 for the holidays. This money has been approved by the DOD for receipt and is approved through the DOD office of General Counsel Standards or Conduct office.Salute Heroes is the site to visit. Registration takes only a moment (5 minutes at most) the cash is yours free and clear. You gotta hurry though, from what I am understanding it will be ending here in a few days to a week. From what I understand a member of the American Legion will hand deliver it to you if requested, or it can be sent through the US Postal Service.
BUT maybe you aren't a wounded military member during OIF/OEF, if you know someone that is and doesn't have access to a computer get their info from them and register for them. But it has to be done NOW. Its a nice thank you Christmas gift at a bare minimum.
A few more to help buid up the collection...

This is actually one of my favorites, it is simple and not that full of color, but I love it.
We Salute You Our National HeroesWhat is this about...?
I was stationed in Iraq and while there saw all these T-Barriers with some great art painted on them. With all the bland sand, dead and crying trees, green that is more brown than green and aisle after aisle of cement barriers that protect all military and civilain. People have been painting their squadrons, companies etc on these for a while. I didn't want these pieces of art to just die one day whenever we do pull out and destroy the barriers. So I decided to start this site where I willbe posting these up as I get them. I hope you enjoy it all.
PLEASE if you have any pictures that I do not send them in and I will give the sender the credit for the picture, if you wish for me to give you the credit.
Thanx and God Bless the Troops!
