A great thread to bring back!

can't believe this thread is six years old.
that photo in the first post still gets me every time.

this monday, please consider observing memorial day by....
- visiting cemeteries and placing flags or flowers on the graves of our fallen heroes.
- visiting memorials.
- flying the U.S. Flag at half-staff until noon.
- flying the 'POW/MIA Flag' as well.
- participating in a "National Moment of Remembrance": at 3 p.m. to pause and think upon the true meaning of the day, and for Taps to be played.
- renewing a pledge to aid the widows, widowers, and orphans of our falled dead, and to aid the disabled veterans.

Have a safe Memorial Day!



Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

In the past year, there have been three deaths that make this year's Memorial Day more somber than usual:

Richard Winters

Frank Buckles (last living American WWI combat veteran)

Claude Stanley Choules (last WWI combat veteran in the world)

photos from life magazine

http://www.life.com/gallery/26692/arlington-cemetery-hallowe...




'One Memorial Day weekend, in 2007, I took my family to Arlington,' photographer John Moore told LIFE.com, talking about this almost unbearable picture. 'I went to photograph, but also just to visit, having covered so much war over the years. Mary McHugh had lost her fiancé, Sergeant Jimmy Regan, in February 2007 to a roadside bomb while he was in Iraq. She and I spoke about Jimmy, and about some of the places in Iraq he and I had both been, although we'd never met.
