02 MAR 06

This is a military town

And we honor our armed forces

This town has just built another plaza with bronze sculptures that depict the aviators

Some of them are represented here




The monuments are so new, the plaques are not completely set and require heavy duty bands to hold them in place

Very nice series... I was in the Air Force during the Vietnam issue.
I would like to think we were making the world a better and safer place.
But at this point, I am not smart enough to know for sure.

Great series of this memorial. I really like the way you caught it with the reflection and the whole set of photos.

Excellent series Pete. Thank you.
And the George Will quote is quite striking ... it is so right on!

Nice series of shots. The light and reflections on the main image work really well.

Wonderful tribute--nicely composed. Terrific quote. Truth is few are aware of the constant sacrifice those in uniform & their families undertake in war and peace alike.

They are beautiful monuments & fine tributes. It's so easy to forget the thousands giving their time every day as we go about our comfortable lives !!

This is wonderful. I must show it to my Air Force fly boy husband.
