A square image presented as a nine-panel collage with a patriotic and solemn mood, focused on themes of military service, loss, and memory. The collage features six distinct photographs and three panels of text overlaid on color gradients. The panels include: two elderly women viewing a folded American flag; a pair of old, muddy military boots with dog tags in the grass; a close-up of burning candles and a dog tag reading "IN LOVING MEMORY"; a black and white photograph of a soldier sitting and crying; a woman holding red carnations; and a vintage image of an American flag with a helmet and work gloves. The overall aesthetic is serious, honoring the sacrifice and emotional cost of military service. Veterans' Text: FORGOTTEN VETERANS, Paula Frew Poetry
