The week between Memorial Day and the anniversary of D-Day is a special time for me. Having had a family member who parachuted into St. Lo at about 0015 on 6June 1944, we must remember their sacrifices.
This memorial is a new, touching reminder of another day. At Shiloh, as I have told Hal, there are times when,if you listen, it is SO quiet, you can still hear the guns, if you try. While shooting this image, I could, and shortly thereafter, the rumble of thunder from an approaching morning thunderstorm made the rumble even more audible.
May we never forget the sacrifices our families made for freedom...
