  • More than 2,000 Iowans deployed to Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. The Red Bulls patch emblazoned on their shoulders carried honor and tradition unparalleled in the National Guard, but for Afghans, who saw the devil in the horned silhouette, it symbolized fear. <br />
<br />
Stationed throughout Afghanistan, these soldiers saw more of the country than most Afghans will see in their lifetimes. Yet, the soldiers said that they came home with a hazier understanding of the conflict. They spoke of a struggle to understand America’s role in the region. Deployment was dangerous, but no one could guarantee that the risk and sacrifice would have a lasting effect on the Afghans’ lives.<br />

  • More than 2,000 Iowans deployed to Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. The Red Bulls patch emblazoned on their shoulders carried honor and tradition unparalleled in the National Guard, but for Afghans, who saw the devil in the horned silhouette, it symbolized fear. <br />
<br />
Stationed throughout Afghanistan, these soldiers saw more of the country than most Afghans will see in their lifetimes. Yet, the soldiers said that they came home with a hazier understanding of the conflict. They spoke of a struggle to understand America’s role in the region. Deployment was dangerous, but no one could guarantee that the risk and sacrifice would have a lasting effect on the Afghans’ lives.<br />

  • Nine-year-old McKayla McCarville stands in the staging area outside of the Burwell arena where the 85th annual Nebraska's Big Rodeo is held. McKayla's father, Kirk McCarville, brought her to the rodeo and McKayla said that she nervously watched him compete in the rodeo's wild horse race. "This may be a small town, but it's got a big rodeo, and it's got a really big heart," 2013 Miss Burwell Rodeo Olivia Hunsperger said. In its 92nd year, the rodeo continues strong and serves as an economic stronghold for a small community in the Sandhills of Nebraska. | Chicago Freelance Photographer | Alyssa Schukar | Photojournalist
