Need A Lift?
In this adorable photo, two children are taking a piggyback ride on the shoulders of a soldier. What’s most beautiful about this photo is that the children clearly feel so comfortable clinging around the neck of this young man. It’s obvious that his presence must have made them, and likely their entire community, feel very safe. In a similar way, the children also likely gave the soldier some reminders of home through their innocence and the simple carefree way of acting like kids. Soldiers interacting with children certainly results in some of the most beautiful and uplifting photographs to come out of war through any time period or location.
