Yes, to the point of crying. Man, Frank Gaylord sure has captured a lot in these sculpted faces. Reading a bit about that war, sheesh, the allies were unprepared, yet, should not have been. Pushed back to the Pusan perimeter before air power helped turn the tide. Considering the US had fought Panther and Tiger I and II tanks in WWII, I find it surprising that they fell short when encountering Soviet T34-85 tanks that were less tough than the above mentioned German tanks. Going after T34-75 with Sherman tanks, and outnumbered, was a sure trip towards loosing. And this fear can be read into the faces you've photographed. Keep up the good work! :-)

A very moving and excellent photo, Tara. This is the real face of war - hopefully we won't see it soon...

A superb close up. It’s called the thousand-yard stare when exhaustion and fear combine to send a person into a form of shock. Mr. Gaylord has captured that feeling brilliantly.

The beginning of experience. Particularly like the artist's treatment of the eyes and mouth. Like it.

I have seen this memorial, but some how I was not comfortable for photography because of the many visitors... you did it great!

Another of your very sensitive croppings and treatments of these sculptures, with the same capturing a deep inner moment that you get in your live portrait-closeups. Your composition puts this man on one side, and all that light on the other---yet it's a stark, colorless light (the sky), which harmonizes with his sense of fear and apprehension of the unknown. (A landscape that may be bright, but no one knows what lurks inside it. And then, the bright light has a feeling of 'absolution', which I presume war imparts over and over.) Terrific work on this one as well. I'm glad you posted all 4, they're all wholly worth being seen. And, full size is absolutely necessary to get your full vision of these powerful sculptures.
