Maybe, just maybe, the Marines really do have the best commercials. But the Army is front-runner when it comes to shining a light on social issues. Now, in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Big Green Publicity Machine (AKA Army Public Affairs)has sent out a blurb about a brave civilian, Carolyn Louise Herring Moore, who endured 10 years of homefront assault behind closed doors. Moore, now happily married to an Army staff sergeant, wrote a play about her struggles to survive and eventually escape an abusive marriage.
The play, "Women Shoptalk While Real Men Wait," will be performed this weekend in Fayetteville, NC. The performance is Saturday, October 31.The mil-blurb (linked above) quotes Moore giving advice to people currently entrapped by abuse: "Find help and shelter. Find and seek a purpose. Once you do, you’ll find life after abuse.”
Writes Army journo Pfc. Victor J. Ayala: Since the play was first produced, Moore has been spreading her message of life after abuse to countless audiences, selling out shows and helping others through their own struggles with domestic violence.
That's the Army, my friends. It's not just about the rifles.
