A truly remarkable picture of devotion. I think her expression says it all.
The man in the picture is Ty Ziegel. He’s a United States Marine Corps Sergeant who was seriously injured while serving in Iraq. During his second tour in Iraq in 2004 his group was attacked by a suicide bomber. He sustained massive injuries, but survived. After returning to the United States, he spent 18 months in Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas.
His injuries led to the loss of his left forearm and of three fingers of his right hand, and Ty was rendered blind in his right eye. He also sustained widespread severe burns that led to the loss of his ears and much of the tissue on his face. Despite the range and severity of his injuries, and after over 50 operations, Ty had recovered enough to leave the hospital.Ty married his girlfriend Renee Kline in 2006. They live together in Illinois. Nina Berman’s wedding portrait of Ty and Renee, “Wounded Marine Returns Home to Wed,” won the World Press Photo competition for portraiture in 2007. The World Press Photo competition is widely regarded as the most prestigious international award for photojournalism.
