EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the devastating impact of war on one individual, Musician Michael Leak of Company E 151st Pennsylvania Volunteers, who was tragically shot through both eyes at the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. The haunting gaze from his sightless eyes serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless soldiers in defense of their beliefs. Leak's story is a testament to the physical and emotional toll that combat can take on those who serve in armed forces. His disability serves as a stark reminder of the lasting effects that war can have on individuals long after the fighting has ceased. As we reflect on this image, we are reminded not only of Leak's bravery and sacrifice but also of the importance of providing support and care for those who have been injured in service to their country. It is a sobering reminder that behind every uniform lies a human being with hopes, dreams, and fears - all too often shattered by the harsh realities of war. Through this photograph, we are urged to remember and honor all those who have suffered injuries in conflict, and to strive for peace so that future generations may be spared from experiencing such devastation.
