Matthew, Army, 1991-1996​

During our first week or so in [Somalia], we didn’t know the city that well. We took a wrong turn and ended up in an alleyway that is narrow, maybe seven feet wide which, of course, means you can’t turn around. We couldn’t even back up, it was too difficult. There was a cactus hedge across the alleyway. Our only choice was to step on the gas and we went flying through a cactus hedge. For the next week or so we were picking cactus needles out of everything, but it was the only way we had of getting out of that alley.
Using storytelling and art, EVAC bridges the gap between civilians and veterans by educating the public about life in the military.
