"Ripples in the pond"
Veterans Day reminds us that war changes the lives of people in our community.
In every generation, individuals are touched by war, but war also has a cumulative effect on who we are as a people.
Photographer Torsten Kjellstrand has spent three months exploring how war changes lives. Vietnam veteran Guy Lounsbury set the tone for the project by telling him: "War experiences are like ripples on a pond. They encompass more and more people as time goes on."
"Shaped By War" was released Thursday, Nov. 11, and Sunday, Nov. 14, to coincide with the publication of special sections in the newspaper.
A project like this cannot be comprehensive; war is as varied as the people involved in it. Instead, we want you to meet a few men and women whose lives have been touched, and changed, by war.
