i was recently in Washington DC with my cousins at the World War ll Memorial. i encourage anyone visiting DC to drop by, even for a minute - its a convienient walking distance about halfway between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial (the water you see comes from the reflecting pool) It was a very cool place - at the west side of the monument was this wall of stars. Each star represents 100 American soldiers who died in the war. "Here we mark the price of Freedom." freedom is not free, ladies and gents. Remember those who have paid the price for you.

That is a powerful image. So many die for our freedoms. It really brings it home when you see all those stars and realize it represents one person. The image is composed well and taken from a good angle - I like the curve to the wall, and the reflection pool with the stars reflection in it. A very poignant feel to this view. Thanks for sharing a peaceful moment & for the interesting introduction :>

This is a very moving image. It saddens me to think that so many people have died for us, died for us to be free, died so that we can live freely. It amazes and saddens me to think that each and every one of those people had lives, had families, had futures, and they gave all that up to protect ours. But, it also makes me proud of my country, it amazes me to see that we are willing to die for our country, are willing to give their lives so that others may live theirs well.
This is an excellent image, very well composed. I love the angle you took it at, makes the words pop out perfectly and gets a great shot of the stars. This one goes straight into my heart and my favorites.
