I saw a flag the wind had tattered / No one to care or think it mattered! / Wind torn and faded stripes were flapping / Pale stars upon dim blue were napping! / I wondered if a bugle blowing, / Would rouse our country to bestowing… / Upon our flag more true devotion; / And stir our hearts with real emotion! / Forgotten there, so bravely flying / A symbol worn, but never dying! / A challenge! to a nation sleeping / A loyal sentry, Watch is keeping!... / Edna R. Zunino

Taken on November 11. One of the few. He is a member of the HMS Hood Association, Pride of the Royal Navy the Ship was sunk on 21 May 1941 during the first surface action between any unit of the Home Fleet and The German Battleship BISMARCK. The action lasted less than 10 minutes and resulted in the destruction of HMS Hood (it sank in under 2 minutes), of the crew of 1,418 only 3 men survived. This picture is not one of these as only one of the men survives today, he is one of the sailors that had previously served on HMS Hood before this last voyage. The Naval Prayer O eternal Lord God, who alone spreadest out of / the heavens, and rulest the raging of the sea; / who has compassed the waters with bounds / until day and night come to an end; be pleased / to receive into thy almighty and most gracious / protection the persons of us thy servants and / the fleet in which we serve. Preserve us from / the dangers of the sea, and from the violence of / the enemy; that we may be a safeguard unto our / most gracious sovereign lady, Queen Elizabeth / and her dominions, and security for such as / pass on the seas upon their lawful occasion; that / the inhabitants of our commonwealth may in / peace and quietness serve thee our God; and / that we may return in safety to enjoy the / blessings of the land, with the fruits of our / labours, and with a thankful remembrance of / thy mercies to praise and glorify thy holy name; / through Jesus Christ our lord.

The National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas in Staffordshire is a living tribute to the people of the last century and to reflect this over the past four years some 40,000 trees have been planted and monuments raised in memory of the armed forces, the Merchant Navy, the Police and Fire Service and the Civil Defence. Among the Veterans who have plots at the site are those linked to Dunkirk (the pictured helmet and rifle), Burma and Normandy Campaigns. The project also includes a Visitor Centre and the Millennium Chapel of Peace and Forgiveness which is the only one of its kind to be built to celebrate peace in the new millennium and reflect on previous conflict. The Chapel is the only place within the United Kingdom where the Act of Remembrance is observed on every day of the year. Visitors to the Chapel and surrounding areas are invited to stop in silence at 11am to remember those who have lost their lives in conflict.

On a day that’s hard to appreciate, or even swallow down, the definition of a Veteran seems unavoidably linked with an older generation. I don’t feel like a Vet. My grandfather is a Veteran, myself on the other hand, I feel as though I fall into an undefinable category. Generation X who has become “Generation Kill,” and subsequently slips right back into society, undetectable. The pain, fear and horror of what we’ve gone through is repressed, so that we can move fluidly back into this madness we call America, and continue our lives. The transition is impossible and just like generations before us, we will never fit it. Self portrait. 1/30 sec. @ f2.8 with Nikon N90s on self-timed. Mosul, Iraq Circa 2006

I would like to dedicate this image to all our fallen heroes and their loved ones; please know you will be remembered and appreciated forever. (This image is a composite of three photos, one of a soldier at Fort Polk, Louisiana, one of a flag taken at Spanish Lake in Iberia Parish, one of a country road connecting the rice fields near Kaplan, Louisiana. The background layer is the rice field road; I selected and pasted the flag and the soldier onto this background and used the sliders in the layers palette to control opacity and to give them an other worldly look. The background had the Orton effect applied. All this was done in PhotoShop Elements 6.0 for Macs). This image was inspired by Mark Graham my husband’s cousin, who gave his life in Iraq

On May 3rd 1915 John McCrae wrote the poem In Flanders Fields, after witnessing the death of his friend, Lt. Alexis Helmer. Since then the Poppy has been the symbol for the lives lost during World War 1. On November 11th (UK) we commemorate the sacrifices made, and remember what they gave for us.

Today was the Torremendo, (Spain) Annual Fiesta, celebrating their Saints day, where 2 Oxen pull a cart carrrying a statue of Jesus around the town and horse riders and pedestrians proceed and follow. Last year I rode, but decided I would snap some photos this time. This elderly man had a wonderful character visage, so I plucked up the courage to snap a shot! He was just a follower. The day was blazing hot, so he must have been melting in his coat and hat. This is the first time I have managed to capture an older person to apply this effect to and I am quite pleased with the result! I have removed the background as it was full of people and was messy. / 2 hours worth of editing in PSP, including manually adding the Dragan effect! / Nikon D40 18-55mm / Started photography May 2008

65 years ago many young men answered the call to free Europe from an evil empire that was called the Third Reich. Many unfortunately made the ultimate sacrifice during operation Overlord or D-Day and the many months to come thereafter. Godspeed my fellow Veterans.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., also known as The Memorial Wall, was designed by Maya Ying Lin, a Yale undergraduate who at age 21 won a public design competition for the memorial. Built in 1982, the memorial is made up of two black granite walls 246 feet 9 inches long. The walls are sunk into the ground with the earth behind them. At the highest tip (the apex where they meet), they are 10.1 feet high, and they taper to a height of eight inches at their extremities. Inscribed on the walls are the names of over 58,000 servicemen and women who were either killed in action or are classified as missing in action. This is a photograph of where the two walls meet at the apex that is 10.1 feet high. Source: www.wikipedia.com The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Taken Nov. 4, 2009 with an Olympus FE-340 Views: 149 / Favs: 13 My origami calendar / / In honour of the 11th day of the 11th month; the day that recalls the end of World War I, I fold 11 poppies from 15×15mm pieces of paper. The cross is also made from paper. Remembrance Day – also know as Poppy Day, Armistice Day or Veterans Day – is a day to commemorate the sacrifice of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918. Source: Wikipedia The poppy’s significance to Remembrance Day is a result of Canadian military physician John McCrae’s poem “In Flanders Fields”. This poem has also been adapted as a song: In Flanders fields the poppies blow / Between the crosses, row on row / That mark our place; and in the sky / The larks, still bravely singing, fly / Scarce heard ‘mid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago / We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow / Loved and were loved, and now we lie / In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe / To you from failing hands we throw / The torch; be yours to hold it high. / If ye break faith with us who die / We shall not sleep / Though poppies grow / In Flanders fields.

I was just wanted to send out a quick thank you to all of the fellow Veterans out there, no matter which branch of service, or which nation they served/are serving for. Thank you so much for the continued sacrifices you and your families have to endure. Please be sure to thank a fellow veteran today – they really do deserve it! My visual tribute to all Veterans: THANK YOU !!!

An interesting man captured in Saigon, Vietnam. / Many may be familiar with this image, as I’ve used it before in a composite artwork. This version is however more in line with my current (more “purist”) approach. Hope you like it. / FEATURED in True Colors of Asia Group 14/11/2009

The Coach House at Woolmers Estate, near Longford, Tasmania. / The building dates from the 1840’s, the cars are a 1913 Wolseley and an old Dodge, still with its leaping ram ornament. Four shots from +4 to -2 were taken with a Canon 5D Mark 2 and combined in Photomatix Pro 3.2. / Then opened in Photoshop CS4. Several adjustment layers including curves and B&W with lots of masking. / The highlights and shadows were enhanced by painting in either white or black on a grey layer set to Vivid Light blending mode.
