You gave it the perfect title. You honor them with this poignant photo.

Wonderful image! the rows of headstones look really good lined up so neatly. It's so sad that so many have died serving our country.

Thank you both for your comments. It's a very moving place, to say the least. Another image displaying the enormity of it all is this:http://www.pbase.com/helenpb/image/82593040 Helen

Cannot agree more! This is a great entry in every respect. Very touching too, I have been visiting this place once. Regardless of nations, it is a tragedy to see the graves of so many young people.

Helen, I feel all sorts of emotion - from pride to grief. A wonderful reminder to us all - and a very noble entry.
