I think I've seen that one, it says a lot. That picture should be up in every Congress members office.

I hope the kid is able to let it out at home...

From the looks of it, he's lost both parents? They don't give the flag to a child unless both parents are gone, correct?

I hope that boy grows up to be a great man.

I did not know my goose bumps could stand that tall.

I am not certain that I could stand as tall as that young man stood on that day.





On edit: I had to catch my breath before I could even forward it.

It usually takes a lot to stop me in my tracks.

Looks like all it really takes is one little man.

Another site I visit, There is a Marine who does nothing but just that. He saw the photo, and replied, "I'm glad you found that photo, I've got a "DUTY" tomorrow, 2 Flags ! Signed, The Gunny."

For those that are interested , here is the story behind the picture...

http://blog.800hightech.com/child-of...ican-flag/248/

It’s been said that one picture is worth a thousand words. How many words is this one worth? Priceless! This photo of Christian Golcznski shows so much courage in such a young man. Unfortunately, photos like this one are absent in most daily news and media programs today. As a military brat of two Marines, this story especially hit home.

Marine Staff Sgt. Marcus “Marc” Golczynski, was killed in Iraq on March 27. At his funeral in April, Daily News Journal photographer Aaron Thompson captured Marc Golczynski’s teary-eyed son, 8-year-old Christian, accepting a U.S. flag from his father’s casket.
