Show, Don't Tell


Helmets are the protectors of brains. The faded green paint tells an exciting story of valor, honor, loyalty, and courage. Not long ago, hot, fast-moving pieces of lead sliced through its shell and into whatever unfortunate material may be inside. One soldier must only hope that the metal was just a bit thicker. The pungent  scent of sweat, gunpowder, and blood emanates the struggle this soldier went through. This piece of metal is out of commission, but will always remind those who see it, the conflict one soldier endured.
