Here's to remembering the unfathomable sacrifices that have been made on our behalf through the years. It's nearly impossible to imagine the dire conditions, terrible situations, and horrific circumstances in which our fighting men and women have struggled and perished. I have been lucky enough to go to several places around the world to pay my respects. Here are some photos I've collected along the way, I hope you enjoy them but that they also serve as sobering reminder. Thanks for looking.
Cemetery at Gettysburg - Pennsylvania
The costliest battle in US history
USS Arizona Memorial - Pearl Harbor, HI
Part of the USS Arizona, can see the oil that still leaks from the ship. Most of the crew is still entombed inside.
National Cemetery of the Pacific - Punchbowl, HI
Some of the Markers at the Punchbowl
Unknown, Dec 7, 1941
American Cemetery - Normandy, France
All of these cemeteries are considered sovereign territory of the United States
Ceiling of the Chapel at the Cemetery
Omaha Beach - Normandy, France
Look at the distance that had to be covered...
German Bunker at Omaha
Gun port with pock marks from American bullets
