Remembering the Fallen


	Remembering the Fallen ISO 400, F 7.1, 1/125 Sharpened for re-submission. Thank you to everyone who's already commented on this shot. I really believe in this photo. It lost a lot in it's first upload but I decided to try it again. This man has made all sacrifices asked of him in what was supposed to be the War "to end all wars". Sadly, it wasn't, but he watched his friends die and gave everything he had to give, to us, for a better future. Alexis Yobbagy
