Thank you for honoring our boys in uniform.

I've seen a photo very similar somewhere else on pbase before, but this photo still moves me. Very well done.

Nice job Mark. You've picked a spot more moving than any of the monuments.

Powerful image... this is a place which left a huge impact on me when we went. Your picture does a good job conveying that feeling.

very nice image, the splash of added color from the flowers is a great touch.
