We are living in a time and experiencing a culture where the role of a father is more important than ever. Today we celebrate those men who have shaped our lives in ways large and small. Thank you for your wonderful contributions. Happy Father’s Day!

In May 2023, in the trenches of Luhansk, in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, was scanning enemy lines through a thermal camera. He was wearing a helmet fitted with advanced headphones. Then, a Russian sniper fired. The bullet shattered the camera and pierced one of his eyes. When it happened, his first thought was for his children: Will I ever see them again? And even if he did survive, he feared his injuries might frighten them. It took nearly two years and several surgeries for his face to begin resembling what it once was. Today, Vitalii has returned to civilian life and works for a construction company, contributing to rebuilding a country still at war.

©MichaelG Young, Father Figure, 2019, @mgyoungphotography. In the dappled light of Claremont Village, Harold Matthews doesn’t let a bus accident or a missing leg sideline him from his most important role: being a father figure. He has stepped in to help raise his girlfriend’s son. The football stays in play, and the bond remains unbroken.
