Veterans vision project

On August 8th, 2014, student and photographer Devin Mitchell began backpacking/traveling the west coast in search of veteran stories in hopes of illustrating these individuals through the art of pictures. The Veteran Vision Project is a photo documentary, featuring authentic military service members and their lives. The photo subjects represented are not commissioned models or actors. The people and the artifacts belonging to them as photographed in this project are real. This is currently an independent, privately funded and organized academic photo essay of American military service members through a series of images. The mission is to help veterans heal by providing them with a voice.

Yes, Glennnn, Memorial Day and its meaning sometimes gets lost in a holiday weekend

 

My grad school roommate, Steve Ramsey, graduated in Dec. 1966 and was married to his girlfriend, Grace, soon after He did died in Vietnam a year later. I had one more term to go, and was broke. I did receive an invitation, but could not attend, or afford much of a wedding present (maybe $15). I hope he understood.I do visit the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, but I am upset about the wedding gift.

 

And I eventually went to Vietnam too.

 

He never know.. It would have wonderful to exchange stories with him.

I hadn't looked at the entire collection until now. Many of these are truly powerful and worth taking a look at.

It makes as think about the 1% fighting our wars.
