Veterans Day - A Photo Tribute


 FREEDOM IS NOT FREE -- VETERAN'S DAY - 2012
  Thank you to all those who have served our country
 - and who serve today.

I took these photos on an overcast December day five years ago. Little did I know that 5 years later my youngest daughter, Emily, who is in two of these photos, would be serving in the Indiana National Guard.  Obviously I'm very proud of her and her service.

The "other" wall - the Korean War Memorial in Washington D.C.

Section 60, Arlington National Cemetery: Ceremony for a soldier who died in Iraq.
"In Flanders fields the poppies blow
      Between the crosses, row on row"


Row upon row - Arlington National Cemetery
On Watch - Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers
