All Gave Some. Some Gave All. Remember Veterans' Day



From the first days of Revolution...


To the Civil War....

To the trenches of World War I... with our allies...

To the landing beaches of Normandy....



Where years later, Americans still lie on the hilltops...


To the hedgerows and streets of Europe...


...and the skies over Europe...

...to the top of Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima...
...to the wide expanse of the seas...


...and beneath the seas...
Men...and women.

In the frigid wastes of Korea...



...and the steamy jungles of Vietnam...
...To the scorching deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan...


...Where the common soldier tries to sow peace in a land torn apart...




All these men and women have a common call to our overly-comfortable lives...

"Please do not forget us....."

Lest we Forget. Honoring Veterans, 2007.
