Between 1964 and 1973, millions of Americans deployed to
Southeast Asia to fight in the Vietnam War. Today, we pause for National Vietnam
War Veterans Day to recognize the veterans who served in the war and thank them
for their service. More at https://www.blogs.va.gov/VAntage/57181/national-vietnam-war-veterans-day-2/
Stacy Pearsall’s passion for combat photography led her to document some of the most dangerous and inspiring moments of her unit’s deployment in Iraq. When her spine was injured, however, she lost that passion and was left feeling uncertain about her future. Meeting veterans who knew exactly what she had been through reignited her desire to tell stories through photography. Today, Stacy works with the Veterans’ Portrait Project, photographing veterans of all ages from all around the country, produced in partnership with Disabled American Veterans.
