This deployed American soldier is looking right at you while you go about your normal day.
You might be sitting at your kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee. Your mind is on your commute. But for him, an alarm goes off before the sun does. He pulls on his boots for a four in the morning shift that nobody back home ever pictures.
Play the video again and watch his face just before he asks you to follow. Look at how his eyes hold the camera. He says that knowing one person back home cares is enough to keep him going.
He is serving right now in a quiet place far away. He has to get through the dark hours and the cold wind. He does not need a massive crowd. He just needs to feel a connection to the world he left behind.
Our troops endure the silent stretches of deployment every single day. The hardest part of the job is often the quiet. A simple click on a screen can break through that isolation.
