Purple Hearts Redux

A couple of weeks ago, I reported on a book of photographs by Nina Berman which documented the injuries of soldiers returning from Iraq. At the time, I didn't realize (or somehow couldn't find it) a website dedicated to the book existed.

I came across it this morning... purpleheartsbook.com. There are more photos there and more commentary by Nina about her (and the soldiers') experiences.

"Several thousand soldiers have been wounded in action in Iraq. Thousands of others have been injured in war related events. They have lost arms, legs, eyes, ears, pieces of their brains. Some will spend the rest of their lives in wheelchairs. These soldiers -- all volunteer warriors - have returned home to heal their wounds and consider life, forever scarred and changed. -- Nina Berman
