One of the most moving images I have ever seen. The quiet dignity and stature of the man is a hallmark of veterans. Quote: "Joseph Ambrose, an 86-year-old World War I veteran, attends the dedication day parade for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in 1982, holding the flag that covered the casket of his son, who had been killed in the Korean War."

I was there for that dedication. There is simply no way to describe the emotions then, or now, that I feel each veterans Day. Memorial Day is much the same. God Bless them all. |
