I have been keeping a daily journal since 2016, September 27th. It is a very extensive project, and has come a long ways. It is part of a wider project, known as the Sean Patrick Myrick Life Archive (alternatively: Seanpm2001 Life Archive) I plan to release it into the public domain in the future, likely in 2040.
The journal has the challenge of covering events from before 2016, September 27th. It is a very extensive log, and has thousands of hours of time put into it.

Faces of War

Life Magazine Photographer Ralph Morse captured the faces of German prisoners of war held at the 'Baby Lager' in Attichy, France where Hitler Youth, aged 12-17 were held in the hope that they could be re-educated. These boys had been trained by Hitler from the age of 9 to be soldiers and towards the end of WWII had been put into action to reinforce his depleted army.
