Item Description
A Day in the Life of the United States Armed Forces. This 256-page hardcover book features photographs all taken on a single day by 125 of the world's leading photojounralists with a forward by Walter Cronkite.
On Tuesday, October 22, 2002 at 00:01 hours, a team of the world's most respected civilian and military photographers stood poised at 125 locations around the globe to launch an unprecedented mission: producing A Day in the Life of the United States Armed Forces—a portrait in indelible images and eloquent words of the men and women who wear the military uniforms of our country and stand ready to defend our freedoms.
For the next twenty-four hours, this team of prize-winning photojournalists documented the lives of elite units and freshly minted recruits; of cadets, generals, chaplains, medics, and MPs; of our personnel at desolate outposts and on strategic bases.
They captured the routine and heroic operations that safeguard democracy around the world, around the clock. They visited the men and women of the U.S. Armed Services at home with their families in small towns, inner cities, suburbs, and on farms across the country.
The resulting images remind us of what a concerted expense of valor it takes—on a single day—to defend our values.
