Way too many. They should show this photo at football games instead of overpriced crybabies kneeling for the national anthem

I agree with Sidwalkastronomy. That is a very impactful photo for those who understand what it means. I'm sure there are quite a few of the younger generations that will just see headstones and not the meaning of what they stand for.

A very nice tribute for Memorial Day.

As I left Walmart yesterday, the lady at the exit checking purchases said to me, "Thank you for your service." My immediate reply: "I'd do it again. Anytime."

Powerful image needing no words for its purpose. Thanks for sharing.

My best buddy is a combat veteran with PTSD. He is as brave as anyone I have ever known. He hates guns. He hates war. I honor him and all of the fallen and stricken soldiers everyday.

Beautiful photo.
Though perhaps most are not war casualties.
I and many others qualify to be buried in national cemeteries upon a natural or non-combat death.

Too many women. They were not built by the creator to carry a weapon, more useful as caregivers.

amen. I have totally stopped watching football unless it is college football and I'm on the borderline with that. Now nascar I'm still good with them. At least I haven't seen in drivers confused about their sex or race.

Only race they worry about is the one they are driving in

I love your photograph and thank you for posting it. Hard not to miss is the young woman sitting behind a tombstone apparently grieving for a loved one, perhaps her husband or boyfriend who was killed in the Middle East.

Each of those headstones has a story behind it. And they died so we have what we have. Freedom
