I especially like how the shepherd appears to be in a mist while the soldier looks like the present. Wonderful photo. Thanks for posting.

This contains a tremendous story, you need to do something with it Before doing anything get copyright in your sons name.

I think that's good advice. Such a powerful story-telling photo deserves to be widely seen.

And thank your son for his service...we really appreciate it here in WV.

Well composed for a snapshot. Also very well exposed. I wish that his service and sacrifice,along with his his fellow soldiers,was more widely acknowledged and appreciated.

I am not eloquent as many on here are but I must say that this is one of the most powerful images I have ever seen. Your son and all who serve over there are in my prayers always. Please get this copyrighted in your son't name.

Exceptional photo. It appears that the soldier is walking into the past.

Walking into the past is exactly what my son described it as. Except for the IED's. My daughter also served in Afghanistan as a nurse in Kandahar AFB hospital. The photos she brought back can't be shown: - the grisly results of IEDs. She saw a much worse part of the war than my John did. Because it still is the past (but with modern weapons) John thinks , as soon as we leave, it will instantly revert to what it was before we ever went there.
