    I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking at, but then I saw your link to the WWII monument.

    Interesting photo and thoughts. My reflections post was a river, held steady with little rain and a high tide.

    This is of those shots that really touches me deep down to my soul. It continues to remind us all of the horrors of war. To think my daddy fought in WWI…The War to End All Wars…sadly, not the case. A touching shot. genie
