[Woodcarver] Veterans' Eagle Head Cane Project

[Donna Menke]

I was very proud last night to see that one of the military men in attendance at the President's State of the Union Address was holding one of 'OUR' canes. I could hardly believe my eyes. There was no doubt that it was the very same design that many carvers all over the States have been carving for our wounded soldiers. That one seemed to have a basket-weave pattern on the shaft- which is not allowed in Texas- but it could just as well have been the one I made, and I was proud that it was on display for the world to see.

These are links to web sites about the project- but I think most states must have coordinators for each place. There isn't much anyone can do nowadays for problems in this world, but this seems to be a project all good carvers can do to tell our military men and women that we appreciate their sacrifice.
