Lionking..Looking at these photos again..
A question came to mind: have you ever been to the Wisconsin Veterans Museum in Madison or heard of it? It is quite a tribute to Americans and their service throughout history with life-like scenes and videos, artifacts, etc. It was well worth the visit. I hope you get the chance..

no but if Im ever up that way I'll be sure to check it out.I went to Wash DC a couple years ago.As much as I dislike what comes out of the capitol sometimes it was inspiring to see the capitol and specially Arlington.

don't know the origination of those photos,if I findout I'll let you know but the military branch sites often have good photos,I 've found these photos from various sources throught net.

I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS."


So true. May God Bless them all.

My son Josh has been in JROTC for 4 years. His freshman year, the outgoing C.O. was heading to the Army. Josh graduates in June. Thomas's funeral was two weeks ago. Roadside bomb in Iraq. His wife is due in March.

These 'boys' have convictions beyond belief. I have watched them come and go, and never once have they questioned what they are doing and why they are headed there. Unwavering love for God and Country.
God Bless them all. We love you!

Thanks so much for putting them together for us, lionking. We can see all the typical news footage with our military but that doesn't have nearly the impact a few photos like yours has..
