"They that are left..." : 'Remembrance' portraits.<br />
<br />
92 years old : Tobruk.  89 years old : Arnhem.  88 years old : Burma.  <br />
Each <br />
year they are older, and as they do indeed grow old, as age does weary <br />
them <br />
and as the years do now condemn them more to what they still remember <br />
than <br />
to our truly remembering what they fought for (which is very simple : <br />
us), <br />
they thus become unknown.  These faces then are as of unknown soldiers <br />
: no <br />
cap badges, no ribbons of spooling medals, no insignia for military <br />
rank.  <br />
Faces, only.  Each deep-etched with who they are and what they did, <br />
that we <br />
might look, and think -- and thank them. By photographer Brian David Stevens
