2. Wow

What struck me was how completely present and focused their eyes were while serving. The ones after seemed a little less focused. That could be my own filter, but the middle pictures show the eyes more squinty as if to see everything in front of them.

4. If you're on a mobile device, warning. That link sucks.

Opens 4 web pages and the App Store all at once. Plus you only get to look at the article for about 5 seconds.

In the 4 seconds I saw the article it was touching and frightening at the same time. I feel for these young men.

5. I am a combat vet

and I looked 40 when I was 20. Good thing is that my looks have finally caught up with my age....I figured I'd look 60 when I was 30 but staying in good shape (I am in excellent physical shape) has proved to be the secret..mentally, not so much.
