Kaziah Hancock and Project Compassion - A Patriot's Journey
My cousin, Mike, sent me a wmv video clip of an amazing woman that so moved me, I wanted to learn more about her. Here are a few things I gleaned about this wonderful American; it’s my Patriot’s Journey post for today.
Kaziah Hancock is a professional artist from Manti, Utah, who now devotes all of her work to painting portraits, for free, of U.S. military personnel killed in the Middle East. She’s also founded Project Compassion, a non-profit organization comprised of a group of very special artists who share her goal.
A December 2006 American Forces Press Services article provides more information about Kaziah, Project Compassion and how you can help. Meanwhile, watch this moving video of Kaziah explaining why she does what she does.
Don’t forget to check out the other Patriotic Journeyers… JimK, Scott, Larry, Drumwaster, and Cosmicbabe.

What a gem! She paints free $5000 portraits for families of fallen soldiers. What love and dedication!
What a neat lady and what a wonderful thing to do. She is one of God's angels for sure.
A real angel.
OMG what a special woman! I can only imagine the gratitude felt by the families of the fallen heroes she honors. It brings tears to my eyes just knowing that there are people in the world like Kaziah.
Continue to support our troops! They are fighting for democracy, freedom and for you!
Kaziah seems like a real firecracker with a giant heart of gold. Very inspirational. We all wonder what we might do to help (besides write checks) and she has found something she can do that is meaningful and wonderful. God bless her!
