The Combat Paper Project was formed to help veterans cope with experiences in war. The processes include making paper out of their old uniforms to then create art on them as well as many other creative outlets to connect to fellow veterans. The Combat Paper Project has exhibits and workshops available to further expand their knowledge as well as connect on a more national level with others.

Todays event is a workshop with SCombat Paper representatives Tina Drakulich, Jo Meacham, and Luana Ritch.

Tina Drakulich is president of the David J. Drakulich Art Foundation in Reno. Her son David was killed in 2008 in Chagali, Afghanistan.

Lt. Col. Jo Meacham is retired from the Nevada Air National Guard.

Luana Ritch is retired from the U.S. Army.
