The picture depicts silhouettes of soldiers in front of a fading American flag. The soldiers  are blackened silhouettes walking across a barren horizon, holding guns, backpacks and wearing helmets. It appears that they have been on a long journey and some heads are hung low either because of exhaustion or grief. The men leading the way are shown with their heads held high with a strong foot forward. The sun is setting giving off different tones of orange. The background for this scene is the flag, which appears to be waving in the wind. The flag has red and white stripes and a blue rectange in the left corner with white stars.

bravery
strength
sadness
curiosity

guns = war
stars and stripes = America
heads looking down = sadness
backpacks = traveling

This picture shows bravery because these soldiers are representing those who have gone into battle for this country. When we think of those people, we imagine them as being brave. They also show strength and the way the front soldiers appear to be walking shows that they have strength to lead the way for other soldiers.
