This is one my favorites. If I recall correctly, Smith has just returned from WWII where he served as a photographer. Questioning his ability to adjust to civilian life he, by chance, took this photograph. The public reaction was positive and gave Smith the incentive to continue pursuing his favorite art form.

Veterans Day originally began as Armistice Day, which celebrated the end of World War I. After World War II, the day was expanded “Veterans Day” to honor all veterans, not just the service members who died during the First World War.

At the National Archives, we are proud to serve veterans through our work at the National Personnel Records Center. Veterans who need their service records for benefits can find help here.

Families of veterans who have died may also ask for copies of service records for family history, military burial, and medal replacement.
