I took this picture on our way out from FLW to Riley. There was a young soldier, a Specialist, who was waiting for a ride to the airport so he could go to his next assignment, just like us. In prep for Valentines, he went to the PX and bought this bear for his girlfriend in hopes that he could meet up with her in between bases. I’m not sure where he was going and I’ve even forgotten his name, but I thought that it was a good picture to see a soldier’s personal gear that he will be taking to war with him contrasted by something as, dare I say cute, as a teddy bear. The only thing missing from the picture was a weapon, which I’m sure he had on his persons when he went into the orderly room to check the status of his ride, just like a good soldier would.
