Honor the Dead
The 21-gun Salute, known as "Honor the Dead," was the finale of yesterday's Memorial Day services in Philadelphia. There were two similar ceremonies--one at the beautiful Korean War Memorial and the second at the Vietnam War Memorial, styled similarly to the Wall on the Mall in Washington. Somehow, when I got home yesterday, there was a spent rifle shell casing in my photographer's vest pocket. There is no good explanation for this.

Congratulations to all the April contest participants and especially to the terrific finalists and winners!
