so this mom had just spent seven months in Iraq, and is seeing her daughter for the first time since then. This picture isn't the fall of the Berlin wall, or a huge significant moment. But to that mom. And that little girl. It's the best moment. Soldiers coming home and seeing their families always makes me cry. 9/11 changed our nation, and the war on terror sent thousands of people away from their families, and not all of them came back. So no. This isn't a picture that changed a nation, but it shows the aftermath of a shocking moment. Which is still important. Just seeing the happiness on their faces made me feel better, it's nice to see hope in a picture every once in a while.
