This picture shows an old man in his late 70's early 80's wearing a metal army helmet that looks like a bowl. There is a brown leather worn strap keeping the helmet on fitting snug under his chin. He is wearing an old olive/ camel green uniform that looks cushioned and has a few pockets on the front. He has a slightly wrinkled face and glasses and a big nose. He has wrinkly hands and he is lightly clutching a large flag folded into the shape of a triangle. The blue part of the flag is showing with white stars. It is a close up portrait picture of the man but you can tell he is standing in the front of a crowd of people.
somber, dutiful, nostalgic, memory, proud, loyal, lifetime,
flag in triangle- patriotism honor
helmet- protection
uniform- team,
The fact that the picture is very close up makes the feeling more serious. It is like a portrait of the man's life and how he woule be painted and the painting be hung up for all to see reflecting his life. It is very personal and straight to the point. it focuses on his face and how it looks like he is remembering the past.
