EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the year 1972, a time when the Vietnam War was at its peak. The image captures an intense moment during the annual draft lottery in Washington, D. C. Director of the Selective Service System, Curtis Tarr, stands before us with his hand on a large drum containing draft numbers. His face is filled with determination as he prepares to turn the tumbler inside the drum. This simple act will determine the fate of countless young men who anxiously await their number being called. The late afternoon light casts long shadows across Tarr's serious expression, adding depth and gravity to this historic event. The interior setting suggests a somber atmosphere as everyone present holds their breath in anticipation. Each number drawn from that drum represents another life forever changed by war. It is a poignant reminder of how decisions made within these walls had far-reaching consequences for individuals and families alike. Photographed by Thomas O Halloran on February 2nd, 1972, this powerful portrait encapsulates both the personal toll and societal impact of conscription during one of America's most divisive conflicts. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a stark reminder of our collective history and prompts us to reflect on the sacrifices made during those turbulent times.
