David Oresick - "Soldiers in their Youth"

David Oresick is a curatorial assistant at the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago as well as a graduate at Columbia College Chicago. His most recent work, Soldiers in their Youth, "is a series of montages assembled from videos found on the Internet created by American soldiers and civilians reacting to the Iraq War" (Oresick). This video showed a variation of clips that gave insight to what goes on in the lives of our soldiers oversea, the people they meet along the way, and their loved ones that were left behind. From the entire video, the one clip that had my heart clench was where we see our soldiers under attack from their point of view and we can hear our soldiers fear, bravery, and every other emotion expressed in that clip. It made me think about what my family and friends, who have gone and come back several times, had to go through or are still going through. May God bless all the families and friends and those overseas.
