That picture is -really- a heartbreak.
This is also a beautiful video.

Happy Memorial Day to all the vets here and elsewhere.

My brother in law died while serving in the fight against terrorism. Semper Fi. He was setting up on top of a roof and slipped. Fell three stories. It was a sad day for all of us and he was a good guy. Huge Chiefs fan too. We always talked football at family outings and one day I got an Arizona Cardinal yearbook in the mail. He was somewhere an found it and bought it and mailed it to me. He always said I was the only Cards fan he ever knew. I told him ya there's a couple of us.

Who takes a picture of someone grieving like that? It would never remotely cross my mind to do that.

I think it's a pretty powerful photo tbh
Just seeing thousands of headstones can make you forget that all of those people have families grieving them.

Yes its a powerful photo but i hope it was taken and released with the poor girls consent.
-
Otherwise its an assholish move worthy of a beating

is there any thread you won't ruin by bitching about something, Cleve?
-
-
but you don't know, you are manufacturing a controversy where is none,
with a convenient hypothetical.
It take away from the thread. I'm sure someone that close wasn't the paparozzi.
Give it a rest, already.

God bless AMERICA!! Thank you to all the men and women who sacrificed there lives 4 this country!!

I get it theres no real way to know, but someone could have bern just a passerby...you dont know either. But we as a culture do this all the time....like when people take pictures of relatives of people who just went down in a plane wreck. The moment just has to be csptured apparently. Its a douchey aspect of our culture that bothers me. If you cant leave people alone at those moments, i mean when can you then?

that isn't the subject of the thread.
start your own thread.

I am sure she would have known that someone was standing over her with their phone out.
That said, this is completely unrelated to the nature of the thread.

I'm not in the military, and nobody I know is either. But I respect the hell out of anybody who is or was, because it's such a sacrifice. I know that if bullets started flying near me I'd be running for the hills, and yet somehow people find the courage to stand tall (metaphorically...) and stare the enemy down.
These videos always get me right in the feels:
