One of the many reminders that "freedom isn't free" ... we all know that. Hopefully these photos won't offend anyone, if so, I'll promply take them down.

Mark, my friend, I thought I had seen most of the good Kodachrome stuff from the war, but holy jumpin' Jeebus, you've really outdone yourself once again with some of this stuff. Just truly remarkable.
