Pre-Deployment Juxtaposition


Second Lieutinant Ed Rogland, chaplain canidate, is a chaplain in training and a seminary student. Rogland waits at the Millennium Hotel in St. Louis, Mo to talk to the soldiers and families of National Guard 1138th Transportation Unit before they deploy to Afghanistan this spring. This is part of a Yellow Ribbon Program, which is geared towards teaching service men, women, and families about the services that are available to them while a loved one is deployed overseas. The program covers everything from financial planning and health insurance coverage to stress management and marriage counseling. Extra points if you can name the photographer that inspired this photo...
