In celebration of Independence Day, I’m taking a look back at the veterans feature series I did while writing for The Torrington Telegram. The small town in Wyoming was filled with fascinating human interest stories, as every town across America is.
Over the months I lived there, I interviewed a handful of war veterans, from an Army Air Corp fighter pilot, to a Navy Seabee with endless stories, to a spunky former V.A. nurse.
I was honored each time they welcomed me into their homes to photograph them and hear their countless stories—many of which induced anger, tears and laughs as they reminisced of days at war. I’ll never forget those assignments and the common reason they all professed for serving their country: a resolute sense of duty.
