She knelt in prayer. I saw her hands upon the flag’s sweet folds, shedding tears on stars upon a sea of blue.
She returns home heart-broken and alone. A scene that has repeated itself more than 1000 times at this one
cemetery since it opened on January 3, 2006. Her husband was a long-time close friend and co-worker of
more than 20 years who died as a result of service in Tikrit, Iraq.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
You learn by doing. Take your next online photography class.
