A Look at Fallen Soldiers’ Bedrooms

With more than 5,000 U.S. troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan since the war started seven years ago, The New York Times Magazine presents a movie photo gallery "The Shrine Down the Hall" commemorating those who have fallen. Ashley Gilbertson photographed 20 dead soldiers’ bedrooms in black and white from homes all over the country to honor them, “not simply as soldiers, marines, airmen, and seamen, but as sons, daughters, sisters and brothers—and to remind us that before they fought, they lived, and they slept, just like us, at home,” the artist said.
