Quite the image. And the image is perfect . . . it's not political. Our responses . . . even your title . . . might be political . . . but the image stands alone as all truly great images do. The patriot in me makes me think how much more evocative this kind of image is in color . . . particularly since I'm all too aware that the surrounding colors are a good contrast to the American flag. I had all our children at home this year for Christmas except one . . . who is in Afghanistan (10th Mtn. Rangers) and this after serving over a year in Iraq.

This is the kind of image that can be used both for and against War; though that was likely not your intent. But it's the kind of image that all people . . . those for and those against . . . show a solemn respect for.

Well done.
Doyle I <~~~~~

This is a very powerful image! It is like everyone else said very sad, but I think it reminds us what the cost of war is.

In the world of photojournalism their will always be pros & cons Johancharles. Bottomline, it's FACT & REALITY whether we like it or not. Anyway indeed a touching image, the grain makes a nice touch, good job.

Ich gebe dir recht das Bild spricht fuer sich selber. Leider sterben zuviele Kameraden im Kampf gegen den Terror.
Nichts desto trotz ein sehr gelungenes emotionales foto hier.
Alles gute nach Ramstein.

Wow this is a very touching image.
As my little bro is in the Navy, I hope to never see one of these.
This is a great capture and the title does say it all!
Thanks for sharing such a emotional image!
