Col. Tom Lippert spoke Friday night at the candlelight vigil, part of the 24-hour vigil to honor American POW/MIA's by remembering and recognizing that they may indeed still be alive, even Korean War veterans still listed by the government and not confirmed dead. I cover this event every year and every year I end up taking nearly the same pictures because the lighting is so limited that--other than using a flash during a solemn ceremony there really aren't many options. And I do look for them believe me. I don't like not being able to find a new way of documenting an event. The one thing that I think does work real well in these silhouette images I take at the monument and this one against one of the lights in the park is that the people that are being recognized and remembered have become faceless names over the years and our perception of them, not being family members with memories and photographs, is the image of 'everyman.' We have to see them as a possible face in order to feel anything at all--so, even like the POW/MIA flag - its the outlines of the face--a human face that we associate with the humanness of the names on a list. I told myself tonight that I would find another way to tell this story with a picture, but it just didn't happen. Its quite a thing to watch these dedicated men and women doing what they can everyday to support American soldiers past and present. Meadville Tribune photograph by Richard Sayer
