A photo essay or series of photographs that capture the range of emotions experienced by the troops and their families as they reunite would likely be the most effective visual aid in this case. The photographs could capture the joy, relief, and excitement of the reunions, as well as the tears, hugs, and embraces that are shared. They could also show the signs of physical and emotional fatigue on the soldiers' faces, and the pride and gratitude of the families who have waited so long for their loved ones to return home.
