All American
An inspiring and beautifully-crafted metal sculpture, custom designed and created for VA Rep's Anything Goes Gala by Boris Kramer. The artist has incorporated several POW bracelets, inscribed with Paul Galanti's name, which were worn by private citizens during Paul's captivity in the Hanoi Hilton.
Forces stronger than our lives drive us to the depths of darkness,
We feel alone in our pain, unique in its effects on us,
Struggling, wrestling, fighting,
Jacob and God played over a thousand times in us.
We question its meaning and the sky is silent, the earth is parched,
It changes us, transforms our innocence,
We either grow or die, our hearts finding deeper roots,
To reach higher, live simpler, and enjoy each breath.
This is the true meaning of it all... Poem written by Boris Kramer.
