One picture two time zones









You've likely seen the picture on the left in the news a lot lately. When I saw this picture, I knew I'd seen it before. Not this specific picture, but this TYPE of picture.

Look at the picture on the right. It's the same photo only I converted it to black and white and darkened in the beard area.  This picture could have been taken 60 years ago.

For me, it is the eyes of a soldier that's had to kill people before they killed him. It's the eyes of a soldier that has seen death and will have those images in his mind for the rest of his life.

Thank God we have men like this. But they pay a heavy price.
