Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt: Veterans, Military

Posted on November 7, 2009 by Barbara Harper

Theme: Veterans/Military | Become a Photo Hunter

I haven’t done a Photo Hunt in ages. I got super busy a few Saturdays in a row, and then just fell out of the habit — sometimes I’d look at the categories but couldn’t seem to come up with anything interesting.

But I have a few photos from a Veteran’s Day parade a few years ago plus a few in connection with my father-in-law.

Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations, that we have forgotten, as a people, the cost of a free and undivided Republic. ~John A. Logan

The Photo Scavenger Hunt is hosted by TN Chick.

The second to the last picture was wonderfully captured. It was a sad moment, but seeing the military men salute, somehow it does take away some of the pain.

I joined photo hunt, too, and my post is up HERE. Please do visit if you have the time. Thanks!

Freedom isn’t free. We have life so easy that we need frequent reminders of why. Excellent post, Barbara.

Check out my husband’s 20 years in the navy. Have a great weekend!

I like that last one the best! But I’m also glad he got an appropriate send-off when he passed. Nice post Barbara…
