"The Only One Standing"

Submitted by Robert Hayes, Anchorage January 12, 2003

It has been said, "a picture is worth a 1,000 words".  See if you can figure out what's wrong with the following picture.

We define patriotism, render respect and honor and pay tribute in many ways.  Some people have a different level of devotion and a different level of pride, some just show it differently. 

Regardless, it is what's in your heart that matters.  As you look at the picture below think about the millions of Americans who have come before us.  They served their country and then came home only to be forgotten, left behind and in some cases, even discarded by the same people they fought to defend.  Remember those who valiantly served and were cursed when they came home.
 

The gentleman in this attachment is unknown to me.  I don't know if he ever served a day in the military.  BUT, by his action I would be willing to bet that he served his country proudly and with honor, and in his heart is still serving by doing all that he can to show his love for his country.
 

Please pass not only this picture on to your friends but also the message that is sent.
