What a poignant reminder of the sacrifice that so many have given to our country, young and old alike!! Love that you caught this picture so that all could pause and thank these men as we see them in parades such as these! Great entry!

Great storytelling. The three figures convey so much about the message. I just wish would could get a little more light on the older guys face, but sometimes we have to take what we can get. Very nice indeed.

That is for sure an excellent capture and so genuine situation - the sign says it all - your picture reflects this message in the most accurate way- excellent close up , good focus, the slight vignette adds to the DOF - good contrast and lighting, technically perfect shot, well framed - well composed with a special meaning, thanks for sharing

now I take my hat off to them ( the older solider & the one who looks so young )and to you for seeing it was important to capture this view .The sign says it all but your view shows the test of time in the older soliders face .& a bit of fear in the younger one Don't know if you realise the emotion you caught .( just an idea black everything out & highlight just the two soliders & the sign I think it would have awesome impact ) on saying that I like your view just the way it is focus subjects detail colour all good .thank you for caring .& view

This picture is so true and definitely gets to heart of a lot of people. What caught my eye with this picture was actually the saying on the side of the trailer, it is so true, and so sad.

a great idea for the holiday, we often forget that many have given their lives for our country, I may not agree with the politics of war but I must admire the dedication and loyalty of the military and those who serve

    Thank you for the review, I really appreciate the time you took to look at my photo, I also am a veteran and I just wanted to show my respect to the ones who gave that ultimate sacrifice on foreign lands,where we can have the freedom that we have today to do what we want to. JackJr.
