Veterans Portrait Project
Disabled combat veteran and photographer, Stacy Pearsall, will photograph active duty, Guard and Reserve military members and veterans at a location across the US with your support. The money earned from the fundraiser will go toward travel, lodging, meals, equipment, rental space, prints for the participants and more! A little goes a long way, so please give what you can. You’ll touch the lives of many worthy Americans.
Some are smiling. Others gaze at a distant point. All are
veterans. The Veterans Portrait Project began while Stacy Pearsall recovered
from combat injuries sustained in Iraq. Spending hours in VA waiting rooms
surrounded by veterans from every generation and branch of service, Pearsall
was compelled to honor and thank them in the only way she knows how,
photography. The Veterans Portrait Project totals 3,000 veterans and grows
daily.
Pearsall's mission continues off the battlefield with the Veterans Portrait
Project (VPP). Stacy began the VPP in Charleston, SC, while recovering from her
combat injuries. While she sat for hours in waiting rooms, she couldn’t help
but to notice the men and women around her. She reached out to hear the stories
of veterans from every branch of service, generation and conflict and felt
inspired to bring her camera and take their portraits, leading to the project
that now fills the walls of a number of VA Hospitals across the United States.
Today, Stacy continues her project and has photographed over a 3,000 veterans
from coast to coast. What started as Stacy’s path to recovery and healing has
now grown into her personal mission to honor and thank her brothers and sisters
for their service in the best way she knows how: photography.
