In honor of Veterans Day, we share a very personal project from Tom Hussey. Tom created this body of work with the hope it would help him understand the Vietnam  War era and how it affected him as he got older.

Tom’s moving portraits show the veterans as a cross section of the population. They share their stories their way in their words, and we learn, understand and get a better perspective on this very difficult period in our country’s history. We are grateful for their service and honor them today and every day. See all the stories here.
