Old Soldiers (rest in peace)

Chloromyia formosa, Waffenfliege. I never knew that a fly with this name exists until I looked up my find.
I have often told you stories about the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
"Come lay with me and love me"
And I would surely stay
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old when nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thought my eyes had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here
Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Which I thought for so many years
That I would forever be
But I found you, you found me
I'm no soldier of fortune anymore
That's history, that's past
Light is always ahead
Even angels are around us
Like in this photo
Amen
Has anybody seen my soldier, standing all alone?
Has anybody seen my soldier, just trying to get home?

Amtrak 3, the westbound Southwest Chief, splits the blades at ESS Colmor. The BNSF Raton Subdivision is the last holdout of mainline semaphores in the country.
So, here's my soldier 76 WIP. Sorry that it took so long, but I feel like this is by far my best piece of sculpting work. Thoughts?

This is two tour guides, who decide to take a break, I noticed them and framed the famous landscape with them acting as a border.

Nazi Germany had some of the best soldiers at the time that included the Gebrigsjäger's, Waffen SS and the Fallschrimjägers
Mostly took this picture to show off the new Brickarms MP40 submachine gun. The updated version has a ton of detail in it but its too big. I cut the stock off because I was not a fan of it at all.
I saw this tombstone at the St Charles Cemetary. It made me think about this civil war soldier, gone and forgotten. He went off to serve and gave his life in the service of his country. Who he was, we don't know. His family probably did not even know what happened to him.
I am a soldier in a different army. I want to serve and I do serve, however imperfectly. I will be unknown to nearly everyone, except for a few around me. And in another 140 years, I will be all forgotten, just like this soldier was. The big difference is that my Father will not forget who I am. I will be unknown to those around here, but my Father knows my name and will always remember me, as I live out eternity with Him.
Red Soldier beetles are strangely more orange than red and are slightly shiny, they also have a black patch at the end of the wing-cases and they have quite long antennae. Soldier beetles are very good at fighting the harmful insects that live above the ground, whist their eggs and larva take care of the garden pests that live below the ground. In turn the Soldier beetles are a very good food sauces for other animals like birds, bats and spiders who feed on the adults whereas spiders, beetles and other soil dwelling insects feed on the larvae.

The Canadian 2nd Infantry Division liberated the several hunderd inhabitants that were still there on 12 April, 1945. The first soldiers to the camp were from the 8th Reconnaissance Regiment, followed by troops of the South Saskatchewan Regiment.
Following its use in World War II, the Westerbork camp was first used as a penalty camp for alleged and acussed Nazi collaborators and later housed Dutch nationals who fled the former Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). Between 1950-1970 the camp was renamed to Kamp Schattenberg and used to house refugees from the Maluku Islands.

"Después de que el capitán Morris de los 'Canadian Scotts' se hubiese reunido con Van As, el canadiense se dirigió a los prisioneros liberados. El texto lo habÃa escrito en estilo telegrama en un papel, era una combinación de inglés y medio holandés. Debido a ello, y como consecuencia de la prisa en que lo habÃa escrito, el texto es ahora difÃcil de leer y poco descifrable.
Según algunos testigos, a pesar de la gravedad de las noticias -'war it's not over yet' (la guerra aún no ha terminado)- fue algo realmente cómico".
