    MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. -- “Tired Eyes,” a portrait sketched by Lance Cpl. Bates, shows a Marine with four tours to Iraq and Afghanistan, Sgt. Wesley Laney, 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, taking off his helmet after reentering friendly lines at the Jolan Police Station in Fallujah, Iraq. The eyes represent the strain inflicted upon a nation through years of fighting. Bates, a rifleman by trade and now a combat illustrator, has recently had some of his artwork accessioned into the History Division with the Marine Corps Museum in Quantico, Va.
