Photographer Brian David Stephens’ series of portraits of individual veterans, taken over eight years’ worth of Remembrance Day services. Though each of those pictured must have a compelling story to tell, Brian has embraced the concept of the Unknown Soldier. “The viewer is given no information just a portrait,” Brian said.
He added: “These faces then are as of unknown soldiers, no cap badges, no ribbons of spooling medals, no insignia for military rank. They are faces only. Each deep-etched with who they are and what they did, that we might look, and think - and thank them.”

The Department of Education Was Created 32 Years Ago, Today
On Oct.17, 1979, President Jimmy Carter signed into law the Department of Education Organization Act. The ED opened officially in May, 1980.
On this education anniversary, it seems fitting to look at some of America’s classrooms from decades past. Plus, it wouldn’t be right not to give a big shout out to all the teachers out there. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
