Miss America and Faces of the Dead

The "Miss America" picture to me shows a lot of death and violence. It is a symbol of how America is suffering. The blood in the picture shows me the blood that America has lost. The gun in the picture shows me that history repeats itself and that there's going to be more blood shed.
The "Faces of the Dead" picture to me means that we will always remember the fallen. As you scroll over the picture, all the tiny boxes that make up the picture have names of different people who have died in the war. It shows that people are fighting and dying for our country and that they should not be forgotten. I wonder why they picked that guys face for it though?
