The purpose of the book and traveling exhibit is to focus public attention on living veterans of all wars who have made personal sacrifices and experienced the horrors of war. Upon returning home, many of these vets were met with indifference; worse, many did not receive continuing support or help from their communities. In nearly all cases, it became a struggle to rebuild their lives and restore a sense of normalcy.

We, as photographers, are driven to use our professional skills to communicate emotion and perhaps a message. We will be attempting to understand the obstacles each veteran has faced and to recognize their efforts by letting them express it in the form of a picture. Five main topics will be highlighted in our book.

• Unassuming veterans among us
• Famous veterans
• Homeless veterans
• Women veterans
• Veterans’ families

The end result will be a powerful collection of images. These photos will send a message to those who view the book and exhibit that veterans and their families share universal fears and emotions. The key difference between veterans and everyone else is that many are suffering in silence after having made great sacrifices on behalf of the rest of us to ensure our continuing freedom.

This project is all about soul, spirit, miracles, and faith.
