The faces are black, white, Asian, Native American, male and female.
Those differences all give way to one common denominator; each is a veteran of the Vietnam War.
"This display is an exhibit called "Back In The World". It comes to us as a traveling exhibit from the Wisconsin Veterans Museum." said Bob Fuhrman of the Bong Center.
The display will be at the Bong Center in Superior through early May.
The portraits were made by Wisconsin Public Television for an oral history project.
The subjects of the portraits came from all over the state including Stone Lake, Cornucopia and Iron River.
"These are the people you've been walking past on the sidewalk of your hometown for the last 40 years. They're the people who put their lives on hold to go to Vietnam when the country called." said Fuhrman.
This weekend, the Bong Center is calling Vietnam Vets to come to the museum to see the display.
Those stopping by will be able to pose for portraits similar to the ones on display for the center's own collection.
Purple Heart recipient Brad Bennett of Duluth thinks that's a great idea.
"Especially for guys that are getting older as we all are. They may want to leave a little portrait and history for their families." said Bennett.
"We'd like the vets to come in and if they'd like to bring along a memento of their service to include in the photo, that would be really great." said Fuhrman.
Marine Corps vet Brad Bennett plans to bring a North Vietnamese helmet for his photo.
He acquired it after a fierce battle in 1967.
"We were attacked by two regiments of North Vietnamese in a frontal assault and they over ran parts of our position but we held on and made it through the night." said Bennett.
Bong Center director Bob Fuhrman feels this project is a small, overdue way to say thank you to service people who may not have been welcomed home with open arms after an unpopular war.
"I hope when Vietnam vets come in and see this exhibit that they leave saying I think people appreciate what we did and what we had to go through." said Fuhrman.
In Superior, Dave Anderson, the Northland's News Center.
Vietnam veterans who want their portrait to become part of the Bong Center's collection can go to the museum this Saturday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Each service person gets a free copy of the picture.
Any vet is welcome; not just those from Wisconsin.
