  1. A Veteran Tribute Honoring SGT Thomas Edward Vandling, Jr Reception & Auction Thursday, November 6, 2014 from 6-9pm at PNC Park Hall of Fame Club Organization Overview: Who We Are – Operation Valor Arts (OVArts); a Veterans Initiative is a 501c3 non-profit organization that assists Veterans with education, training and entrepreneurship while they design and construct public art and Honor Gardens to honor those who served. History – In Southwestern Pennsylvania, known to have one the larger concentrations of United States Veterans, a diverse group of community leaders, health scientists, and Veterans came together in 2011 to explore an innovative approach to addressing issues facing transitioning Veterans. They recognized that while the military, the VA and organizations across the country focus primarily on one set of Veterans issues – health care, rehabilitation and job readiness – an equally fundamental need of returning service men and women is being overlooked and that is the necessity to continue to be of service; to have a “mission.” OVArts was established to secure Veterans the necessary resources to design and construct public art as a means to (1) process their experience of war (2) engage collaboratively with fellow service members and (3) create a lasting tribute to the service members and families who sacrificed so dearly. Program – The OVArts model is built on teams or units of Veterans with diverse backgrounds – art, construction/welding, carpentry, computers, photography, video and communications. Working in conjunction with professional artists, the teams will study, design and build site-specific projects for local and federal government entities, universities, hospitals and secondary education depending upon their needs. The organization will link Veterans with vocational, computer and post-secondary education depending upon their needs. 2014 Public Art Tribute – This year OVArts will honor SGT Thomas Edward Vandling, Jr. who lost his life in 2007 while serving in Iraq. “Tommy” graduated from Northgate High School and attended the University of Pittsburgh. Tommy’s heroic service was brought to our attention by the current and former Reservists of the 303rd PSYOP Division with who he served. Led by two local Pittsburgh artists, a team of 8-10 men and women with the 303rd PSYOP will design and construct a sculpture that will be located at the United States Army McGarity Reserve Center, Coraopolis. A garden and seating will also be installed. Please join us on November 6, 2014 to support OVArts and your tax-deductible contribution will demonstrate your appreciation for Veterans in our region who have served our nation.
