"Paris- When the War Ended", 24" x 16", Digital Print 
​Joe, Army, World War II

My job was to get up in the morning, have breakfast, and go to the motor pool, and stay there until about 6 o’clock and go to sleep. That was my basic training. I did that for a period of time. From England we went to Belgium. We were going to build an airfield in a little town. We took over a tremendous cabbage patch. There was cabbage as far as the eye could see. Our job was to strip that and make runways out of it.
 
It took us 5 days to get there by boat. Once we landed we boarded a train. When we got there the train was attacked. Fortunately we had gotten off the train and were a few miles away when the train was bombed, so fortunately we got away from that. 
Using storytelling and art, EVAC bridges the gap between civilians and veterans by educating the public about life in the military.
