Veterans Day Tribute
Well today is Veterans Day in the US and Remembrance Day in Canada. This is not normally something I do, but with age I guess priorities change and you start to respect in a different light. Being as bias as possible I have always tried to stay neutral and distance myself from political issues! Today I pay homeage to all that have dedicated part of their lives for the safety and well being of others. Whether for right or wrong reasons! For all the young & old, for the ones who had the tenacity to survive. More so for the fallen ones who were never able to return home to their loved one. This tribute applies to all the unsung heros from all over the world, not just here in the United States!

"At the going down of the sun,
And in the morning, We will remember them, Lest we forget." Lovely shots, great thoughts.

I`m the same as you with regards to being politically "neutral", however, your profound thoughts tought me something (yeah, might be my age as well...), and of course the photos are really contribute to it. Thanks for sharing all these.
