As of 2013, about 1.4 million people were actively serving in the armed forces. Not only do these soldiers experience hardships such as sacrificing their lives and dreams but they also gain a sense of brotherhood due to close relationships made with other soldiers and they experience feelings of hope through the possibility of recovery if injured. These experiences were captured and depicted in a photograph taken by Laura Rauch, who is a part of the Military’s Stars and Stripes newspaper. In this photograph, solider Kyle Hockenberry had been conducting a routine patrol on June 15 on the outskirts of Haji Ramuddin until an explosion erupted, giving Kyle Hockenberry such extensive injuries that he needed immediate attention.
I interviewed Beverly Newak, Beverly lives in La Mesa, California. She enlisted for wwll when she was 20 years-old, at the time you had to be 20 years-old if you were a woman wanting to serve.

I hope this letter finds you well. It has been a while since I have last heard from you. Mom and I miss you here in the home front and we are waiting for the day the war finally ends and you get to come home. While thinking about how hard you and the other soldiers are fighting for us and our country, we wanted to find things we can do on the home front to make things better for when you all return. I know it must be extremely difficult in the war front, but I want you to know that all of us here are doing everything we can to help our nation win the war and bring our troops home.
After 7 long years that i have been a soldier in war I can finally come home. I am almost here i can’t wait to see my girls again, My beautiful wife and my now 9 year old daughter. It has been so hard in the war especially without them, i’ve lost so many friends right next to me in battle. It was one of the many horrible things that i wish didn’t happen in war. I joined the war in the first place because of the stupid “join or die!” thing.
I had a fair bit of trouble picking up my luggage. It felt like I was lifting a mammoth. Lifting it with two hands, I began to go with the other soldiers towards the jet exit. I dusted off my camo uniform, making sure the star-spangled banner was visible. There was no time for me to sit here and daydream.
Soldiers train rigorously, preparing for the departure of war. They sacrifice all that they have to fight for their country. As they return after the war, they are left with painful experiences and traumatizing memories, suffering from their inevitable conditions. However, the spouse, families and children back at home are suffering even more than soldiers.
