Eagle Photo - Animated Version
Joanne
Composite Photo. In this one, the tear actually drops from the corner
of the eye.
If the last version annoyed you, this one will really raise your blood
pressure.
However, if you appreciated the first version as I did, you will love
this one.
When requesting it, please refer to the animated version.

No, Jack, I'm not telling you. If you want to know, you'll have to ask
for the files.
I don't totally understand the why of what makes some people discount
others for finding comfort, inspiration, or anything of an emotional
nature in a song or a poem or even a symbolic image. What I suspect is
that is has something to do with a personal shame of feeling those
emotions themselves.
Personally, I find that my life goes better and I feel more loving
toward others when I allow myself to laugh, cry, feel pain, shame and
most importantly pride and gratitude.
If you want to be "Mr. Hardass" that's up to you. You are correct;
birds don't shed tears. But humans do and I'm touched by the image of
our national bird, the bald eagle, symbolically crying the tears of
Americans over this unimaginable horror.

There's nothing wrong with being a purist.

I wholeheartedly agree.
I have stopped watching a lot of the news channels because I simply
cannot take seeing the towers collapsing again...and again...and
again. It's too much
On a different note:
I had to serve jury duty today, and was among the first 4 dismissed.
One of the other 4 was a retired New York firefighter. As we stood to
leave, the judge spoke to the man and offered condolences and the
utmost respect for him and his fallen comrades. The whole court room
applauded, and I'll tell you, there were few dry eyes.
It was a moment I don't think I'll forget.

I don't know if this would count, but "Uncle Sam Wants You," comes to mind.

Eclipse isn't fair, but here are some identifiable symbols in memory of
or representative of something real and important:
The Vietnam Wall
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
The Alamo
Smoky the Bear (not an event but not "the real bear" either)
The Pearl Harbor Memorial
The Crucifix
The Coliseum
The Statue of Liberty
I'm stopping, but I'm not done.

I forgot the most important of all:
Each and every star and each and every stripe on the US flag.

The picture was staged after the actual raising of the flag - so symbolism.

This was not a Kent State student, but a high school student who should not have
been on campus.

I can - pre photojournalism - the symbolism embodied in the cross.

Not to be pedantic, but she was not a student... she was an underage
runaway who had come to Kent State for a "love-in".

Good one TCL. That's the same one my friend sent me the other day--same day
I heard about Joanne's pics.

I agree. Can anyone post the site of Uncle Sam telling 'em to "look
out!!"??

This little game is another distraction to avoid FEELING. No one will
get it right, will they?
It's all irrelevant; like arguing over whether you like photographs or
abstract art.
One is not better than the other; it's all a matter of preference. One
does not cancel the other; they each have their appreciative audience.
No one ever attempted to take anything away from the tragedy. If you
don't like something, you're entitled. You are not wrong, but you are
not any more right than anyone else.
Wanna' call me a politician again? It is a stab in the heart.
