"A Veteran (whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve) is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America', for an amount of 'up to, and including his life'."

-- Unknown

 

"Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what can you do for your country."

-- John F. Kennedy

 

"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day (Veteran's Day) will be filled with lots of pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."

-- Woodrow Wilson on the first Veteran's Day

 

"Better than honor and glory, and History's iron pen,

Was the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men."

-- Richard Watson Gilder

 

"A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom."

-- Bob Dylan

 

"We remember those who were called upon to give all a person can give, and we remember those who were prepared to make that sacrifice if it were demanded of them in the line of duty, though it never was. Most of all, we remember the devotion and gallantry with which all of them ennobled their nation as they became champions of a noble cause."

-- Ronald Reagan

 

I cannot better express the importance of our American veteran's than above but I can ask that all of us honor, respect, and thank them every chance you get. A country built on freedom does not exist without those willing to defend her and those freedoms that we all enjoy. Veteran's are the backbone, the foundation, and the heroes of the United States of America and should always be treated as such...Happy Veteran's Day and THANK YOU!

Whilst the Florida cities of Tampa, Bradenton and Lakeland have lately removed their Confederate War Memorial statues, the one in Brooksville that stands guard outside the Hernando County Courthouse is staying where it is. To counter any vandalism by protestors, protective railings have recently been installed.

The first batch of my impressions from the largest women racing event in the world, the 2024 VHI Women's Mini Marathon (10km) held today, June 2nd, in Dublin, Ireland. More than 25,000 women ran today.

 

I've never pose my event subjects, all snaps are candid. There are three types of photos - snapped before the race, at the start of the race and at the finish of the race.

 

The youngest contestant was a 14 year old girl, the oldest - a 93 year old lady!

 

Many of the runners ran for charity, raising funds for a noble cause.

 

Further upload(s) to come, will try to search for the names of my candid subjects, it will be somewhat easier for those who ran in their athletic club jerseys.

New protective railings now guard the Confederate War Memorial that stands outside the Hernando County Courthouse in Brooksville FL. This contrasts with the recent fate of similar war memorials in Tampa, Lakeland and Bradenton, which were removed in the wake of mounting public criticism that the statues were an inappropriate reminder of the Confederate States’ ties with slavery.

Indeed, Brooksville itself is named after one of the staunchest defenders of slavery, South Carolina Rep. Preston Brooks. In 1856, he attacked and nearly killed abolitionist Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts. This event was a polarising factor in the slide towards civil war.

God bless them all. And you too.

L-R : Harish Pawar, Nitin Mane, Jitendra Salunke, Ajit Salunke. The modern day heroes who have initiated a noble cause of cleaning the Forts of The Great Maratha Warrior from the stupid graffitis etched by the equally stupid people. They have been doing this since last many years while managing their livelihood. I met them at Torna Fort.
