Amen to that Tux.

Nice memorials folks.

God bless all those brave souls who are still out there doing what they do to keep America, and any other country free from terrorism, and sadistic brutality.

When I saw the post by Tux, very nice by the way, I felt compelled to create something myself. As a Viet Nam veteran (2 tours) I still to this day think about those I called friends who never made it back. I've never been to the Wall, don't think I could handle it. What I can do is pay tribute in the only way I know how.

Thank you 2-ton. I already had the background image so I just diddled around with the text from a basic outline font called "Amerian Dream" until I had it looking like I wanted it, then Googled up the apropriate kneeling soldier pic, blurred it really good and adjusted the opacity. All the work was in messing around with the text.
