Colors That Never Run: Reflecting Pool at the Korean War Memorial
Together with my Canadian friend David, we went on an early morning shoot on the Washington Mall. As we both shared the crisp air at sunrise and walked among the life-like statues of soldiers slogging through the battlefield, he remarked to me that Americans seemed to show their patriotism in symbols and memorials far more frequently than most Canadians.
I don't know if that's true, but I certainly don't feel the need to keep this image waiting for Memorial Day or Armed Forces Day when I can proudly display it on Any Day. Like today.
Dedicated to my dad, who proudly wore the uniform and to all my flickr friends who have served or who have been spouses or kids of those who have served. You need to be remembered all year 'round.
I think I'll keep this one up through 9/11 as a tribute to the fallen on that tragic day.
