Staff Sgt. Michael Rodriguez (bottom) took cover from the “downdraft” as a large load of mail sent to soldiers killed or wounded in recent action. The low angle at which this photograph was taken, gives one a perspective of the reoccurring scenery in Afghanistan. As a student, one tends to forget about the men and women fighting in Afghanistan. Not only do we forget about their fighting but also the long-term effects the war can have on a persons mind and heart. The fact that most families will not receive the notice of a family members death for months at a time is slightly disturbing. I chose this image was the fact that Veterans Day is around the corner. Although people are reminded of this day in school, calendars and work I do not think one takes the time to think about it, so here’s a reminder.
