Veterans Portrait Project
Stacy Pearsall began the Veterans Portrait Project while recovering from combat injuries she’d sustained in Iraq. Her military career was over, her body was broken and her spirit was crushed. While rehabilitating, she spent countless idle hours in VA waiting rooms surrounded by veterans from every generation and branch of service. They inspired her to pick up the camera again so that she could honor and thank them with the only gift she felt she had worth giving, her photography. Since taking her first portrait in late 2008, she's conducted more than 189 portrait engagements, traveled to 82 cities in 50 states and captured over 8,500+ veterans' portraits. The Veterans Portrait Project has been emotionally cathartic, physically healing tool. *This was the project that inspired Faces of Fortitude*
