the moments we witness


"They made it with love and they didn't even know us," the soldier said of the women who made quilts for patients at BAMC as he clutched the quilt given to him during a weekly dinner for wounded soldiers at a local restaurant. This soldier has a traumatic brain injury, the result of an IED in Iraq. This moment was really intense as he held the quilt close for several minutes, from the time he got it to the time he left. I have several frames and I'm not sure which one to go with. It was so emotional to see and be there to witness it, but does it translate in a photograph?
