Initially used for the protection of another surface, Marks of Service was rediscovered a while later; and, attached to it was the concept of what the words "service" and "mark" meant. When one thinks of Service Members, does one think of "they have served their purpose" after their years in service? The same thought is constituted with the pieces of newspaper; only, this artwork is merging the two together. When one acquires a newspaper, it is, for the most part, a once and done read through. To have dedication and images to veterans makes one pause for a brief moment, doesn't it? 

Yet, the reality is, many, upon returning, are treated much like these pieces of newspaper were treated. Sure, there are some services kind and dedicated to our veterans, but to what extent are we giving "due service"? To what extent are we treating them that they still have purpose?
