faces of service

A PICTORIAL TRIBUTE TO VETERANS

FOREWORD BY PRESIDENT GEORGE H. W. BUSH

 

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Black and white soul-searching images of dozens of veterans along with their short narratives bound in a 12"x12" hardcover coffee table book, published in May 2017. Together the faces and the stories give insight into a life shaped by war and the military, revealing true facets of the human experience. The mission is to show the real faces of service, and provide them with a voice.

President George H. W. Bush, a WWII veteran himself, wrote the foreword to show his support.

"Anybody who says he or she is going to die for our country is really lying because we have to live for our country." - Anthony Florez-Di Natale

"A shell went directly into the bunker..." - Jerry Lowance

"My life was only as hard as I made it, but each day is a new chance to start over." - Matthew Waltz
