My nephew is deploying to Afghanistan before year’s end, his second tour of duty in the troubled Middle East, while another nephew is in Iraq, his second tour of duty as well. Their young wives and children try to carry on in their absence. They are all heroes; thank you, Maria, for remembering their self sacrificial giving with such tender images as this one.

Very powerful image, nicely done :)
Wow, very moving! Where was this taken Maria?
This is a statue in a local park…. I added the flag in the background.

Wonderful work Maria…….so very striking!
Very nice work Maria! I thought striking as well. Love the bold colors of the flag behind the softer color of the statue.
A very touching piece. Couldn’t be better. Shows human emotion and patriotism so well.
Beautiful work! This is so touching…
My husband and I love this. He is deploying to the middle east sometime this year and we both feel moved with this.
CONGRATULATIONS on winning the challeng Maria, this is a beautiful photograph
