SNOPES article















THIS PICTURE IS WORTH 1000 MILLION WORDS...

We truly take a lot for granted. Forget the football "heroes" and movie "stars."

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you...

Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.

One died for your soul; the other for your freedom.

The snopes article states further

The occasion of this photograph was a Veterans Day Commemoration at Dallas City Hall on 11 November, 2004. The veteran pictured is Houston James, a survivor of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, and the Marine is Staff Sgt. Mark Graunke Jr., a member of an ordnance-disposal team who lost his left hand, one leg, and an eye while defusing a bomb in Iraq in July 2003.

Semper Fi.
