The print at a glance

At the top, "22 A DAY" appears in bold tan lettering with horizontal wings extending from the sides, military insignia style. Below sits the centerpiece: an American flag rendered in distressed texture, navy blue on the left with white stars, red and cream stripes across the whole ground. Overlaid in solid black is a soldier kneeling in a posture of grief or meditation, rifle propped upright beside him with a combat helmet resting at the base. The lettering "IS 22 TOO MANY" anchors the bottom in matching tan, separated by a horizontal line. Five stars in the same muted gold finish sit beneath, a simple row of respect. The whole design carries a weathered, worn look that speaks to the toll these struggles take.
