I picked this up at an antique shop for $1. The back is blank. No names, no unit, no way to find out what's become of any of these men.
This is the fifth Memorial Day of the war in Iraq. In fifty or sixty years, maybe someone like me will shell out a couple dollars for an anonymous photo of some soldiers clustered around a tank in the desert. But maybe there's a date on the back. May, 2008. "These are the lucky ones," future-me thinks. "The war was over by June."
And wouldn't that be brilliant?
