That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end.

Wonderful post my friend. Thank you to all the military and their families. We will never forget them and be indebted to them forever :)
Thank you for your beautiful photos and words. The gravestones are a haunting reminder of all who have died for our country.
good thoughts-quotes and photos...
Hi Sylvia,
You have compassionately woven vital rememberances from history into this one post on Veteran's Day, despite the actual dates being different. I think showing that the idea to remember "and never forget" makes this a top notch quality (to borrow a Q word from ABC Wednesday) post.
I also noticed more info in the commenters' string like about Polish Independence Day.
