Prayers for the Noble Dead

Among all the photos emailed to me about current events, politics and war, these two are particular favorites. Meditating on them never fails to bring a tear. Sincere gratitude. And a blessing.

I think of the first one as "The Cost of Freedom"





The second "Loyalty"



You don't need me to tell you what these mean and what to think...
