Thank you, Phyllis for the wonderful poem. I think it compliments this picture perfectly.

Wonderful photo. Odd that some folks, who enjoy the freedom to criticize our military, are only free to do so because of its strength over the years. All Americans should memorize this wonderful poem:

The Soldier

It is the soldier, not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

It is the soldier, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the soldier,
who salutes the flag,
who serves under the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows protesters to burn the flag.

Striking image! What processing did you use to soften the focus. Great work!

Thank you for remembering. I never knew my grandfather because of that war.
Not sure sure what Hodero means but it doesn't sound respectful so I'm sure I don't care.
