Tugging at the heart strings of a dislocated Texan ... I've often wondered about getting this shot ... If I remember, if you take it straight on, there are lampposts and such in the view ... so this perspective is perfect ... Great shot ... captures the reverence of the hallowed grounds ... !! #6902369
