My name is Alec Halstead and in a life shaped by both the lens of my camera and the perspective of a seasoned military veteran, I've learned to see beauty amidst turmoil. As a Desert Storm vet, I spent 23 years navigating a military career and have seen the darkness of war, yet I returned home in one piece. My passion for photography led me to capture moments of both joy and sorrow, each frame telling a story of resilience and sacrifice.

Last year, I had the opportunity to attend a Veterans Appreciation Day at Yankee Stadium, courtesy of one of the veterans organizations I'm involved with. With tickets in hand for my wife and me, I eagerly brought my camera along, ready to seize the day's memories.

The atmosphere at the stadium was electric, a testament to the camaraderie shared among veterans. Amidst the festivities, I couldn't help but marvel at the iconic structure before me and snapped a photo, capturing the essence of Yankee Stadium in a single frame.

But amidst the celebrations, a moment of profound humility awaited me. As we were leaving the stadium, I spotted a young Marine veteran, no older than 20 or 21, his body bearing the scars of war—missing limbs, disfigured by burns. My heart ached as I watched him, a stark reminder of the sacrifices made by so many.

Then, a scene unfolded before me that I'll never forget. An elderly man, adorned with the insignia of a World War II Marine veteran, approached the young Marine with slow, deliberate steps. With a simple salute and a gentle squeeze on the shoulder, he conveyed a message of respect and solidarity that transcended generations.

Tears welled in my eyes as I witnessed this poignant exchange. In that moment, I felt small and unworthy, humbled by the courage and resilience of my fellow veterans. I couldn't shake the feeling that, but for the grace of God, it could have been me standing in that young Marine's shoes.

As I reflect on that day, the memory still brings tears to my eyes. It serves as a reminder of the debt of gratitude we owe to those who have served, and the fragile thread that binds us all together in the tapestry of humanity. There but for the grace of God, go I.
