The photos of the women mourning are also very heartfelt, but stir a more tragic emotion. And probably strike a chord more for those of us left behind.
I can see why the soldiers would want copies of the eagle, portraying bravery, honor, duty and America. And not of a wife or fiance crying or resting at grave side.
It’s an incredible image.
I happened to come across it last week and no idea of its origin; am glad to have the info now.
God rest those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Those of us left behind sill grieve.
Very true, two completely different sides of the spectrum.
You’re right. The pictures evoke two very different, but equally valid emotions.
