After finding one hundred and nine photos in an album taken by a WWI soldier, I studied them carefully and found my curiosity for the men who lived through it and was able to celebrate when it came to an end. I have learned that the war was personal and unforgiving and changed the people who lived during that time.
Even after living during the times of Vietnam War, Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq wars along with the Civil Rights violence... the World Wars seem closer now. They aren't stories of walking to school with the dinosaurs like Grandpa tells... they are not exaggerated at all. The details are barely mentioned. Everyone likes to make like they forget.
But it still lives... today.
