The picture is called “A Bittersweet Reality”. It was taken in the National Cemetery of Big Tom. This means Israel to me because the pride that the soldiers had when they wore their uniforms was out of control. It wasn’t pride because they are in an army and it’s cool, but a pride that they are fighting in some way or another for their country. That is the reality part. Their reality is fighting everyday for their home and their families. The bittersweet part is that it doesn’t always turn out for the better. There are some fallen soldiers who, although they never knew each other, other israelis and current soldiers know what they did for their country and although that fallen soldier fought with the pride I previously talked about, it didn’t turn out great for them personally at the same time as it did help the country in a way that I can’t imagine.
