Veterans 4 Life

I couldn't help but notice this veteran staring at me with lifeless eyes. He had seen things, things I couldn't imagine. The story was simple, photograph veterans during a ceremony at a rest home. I did that. I shot the Jr. ROTC present the flags and saw these young men and women rearing to get into the military. I wonder what the gentleman in the image would say. He sat through the ceremony slient. I respected that.
