"I started talking to friends and family about veterans. Do you even know when Veteran’s Day is? If Strozier’s purpose is to get people to talk and think about our veterans, well, he has succeeded."

"Strozier’s play thus conveys the discontent over the absurd use of money on wars while cutting it off from treating the victims of these very wars."

"The subject of Guns, Shackles & Winter Coats is veterans’ post-traumatic stress disorder; it’s a vital and timely issue and theater offers an ideal form to explore it...Guns, Shackles & Winter Coats tackles a tough and significant subject and deserves credit for that..."
