“Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
I try to not go there. Your photos are outstanding, but make me think sad thoughts.
I have a Soldier buried there who went with me to Desert Storm. He was killed in a motorcycle accident after we got back from Panama in the early 90's.

So I submitted a higher res image to that site. If you want, they print really nice quality images on the site

Their Photo Prints are really pretty reasonable in price; only 20 or so bucks, and I would gladly pay some of the cost with you to get them a really nice copy instead of just printing one from home. I can get an "artist price" on there, so it's a bit cheaper when I do it, and I make no money off those.

Great Photos.
Those are some great pictures.
And coming out of pocket to get a print to the family shows a lot of class. Well done Sir.

Nice Pictures, sad subjects.
I think "Lone Survivor" should be mandatory reading in this country.
Much Respect
Thanks for sharing guys.
Danny is one of my Heros and will always have a spot in my Family for being a Hero.
Here is one I took with my cell a couple years ago when I paid my respects to him after my Gramps funeral there.
