Noah's Memorial Day Portrait
I was jumping around from local blog to blog last night when I came across this image and caption posted below on the Meck Deck. The synchro is fine as long as I keep looking at it and making the connection to what is really happening all around me. There is not much to say on this fine damp Friday morning, instead I share with you this clear photograph created by Chip Somodevilla that looks deep into the emotional body of a Country at War.

What a great photo. I've been to Arlington National Cemetery several times throughout my life (as both a civilian and a veteran), and it is indeed a humbling experience.
