Cool - that was the feeling I wanted to get across because that's what I was feeling when I was there.

Thanks...

I love cemetary shots and this is a nice one. Good composition, interesting inscriptions on the tombstones. Nice color, sharpness and tonal range.

Phil,

Very nice picture with a great deal of emotional content - question: the Colonel whose gravestone is in the foreground, did he serve in WWII, Korea AND Vietnam? Now THAT'S an American Hero.

Salute to all members of the Armed Forces,
Kevin K.

I must honestly say that I don't know for sure but I have to assume that's the meaning. As I looked around at different markers, some had the list and some didn't. I figured it was the short summary of their service records. The Colonel here was obviously a lifer. Whether you support the actions of the military or not, you have to respect the individuals with the dedication to the service. It's a difficult life and one that I know isn't for me.
