ICCA 10.24.12

After reading the interview of the photographer and seeing why this was an important photo, I believe I could take this photo. It does show that war does not just affect the soldiers or the government but it affects everyone. It was quite calming to see that they cut his handcuffs so he could embrace his child who was terrified. I also can picture the man's face under the hood to be almost crying or showing fear. I have lived a solider's life deployed before and it is never easy seeing stuff happen, but we know our goal and we try our hardest to reach it.
