in remembrance

[brandy]

with remembrance day only a month and a bit away, ive been thinking of our soldiers more..
and then this morning i came across this pic with description on my face book.. and it really touched me..
and i wanted to share it with you guys.. I hope that everyone takes a moment and sees how big such a little thing as a photo can really be!

Please meet Landon.. his dad Marine LCPL Carpenter made the ultimate sacrifice while serving with the 3/8 in Afghanistan earlier this year.. a month before his son was born. Never forget the price of freedom.

I bet that's a photo that little boy will treasure when he's older x

Lets just pray that there are no more poppy burners. If I was present and it happened I'm afraid to say my self restrain would be thrown out the window.

I don't think this has any place on the photography forum - general maybe..

Its a photograph and this is a photography forum.Seems like a logical place to post a photo.

A photo can say a lot more than words ever could, this one certainly does, the story is in the picture and conjures up all sorts of thoughts of things that happened that the majority of us will never experience !!!

And yes, there is a place for this type of photograph on a photography forum, it may not be to everyones taste, but then photo journalism rarely is and I would say this photo possibly falls into that category.
