In 1983, Peggy and I were traveling in what was then the Soviet Union. One day, we were walking in a park in Moscow and came across an old soldier, his medals pinned across his chest. I walked up to him and held out my camera. He rose, straightened his back, and pushed his chest forward with a sense of dignity. I wrote an essay about this encounter and it is scheduled to run in the Home Forum section of the Christian Science Monitor the end of January. If you don't subscribe to the paper, you can find the essay in the Home Forum section of their website after it is published.
