USA. Glen, Mississippi. 2010. The funeral of Seth Ricketts. Most of Seth’s friends are now out of the military, having chosen to return to
civilian life at the end of their enlistments.
When his best friend Kevin Allen decided to leave and become a security guard at a luxury resort, Ricketts
opted to stay in, saying, “What else could I do? I’m not going to bag groceries. I’m not going to wait on
someone hand and foot.” Allen misses the soldier’s life, and doing a job for which he feels pride.
