1. the only thing missing is the bodies on the tideline

at that time we as a country were fighting a war against a definite evil. One that had taken hundreds or thousands of lives and I firmly believe our intervention was the right thing to do. I salute those men, I salute them on this day and every day of their lives.

2. that picture speaks a thousand words

I never knew you could convay emotions through artwork in the sand, you can almost see the mix of fear and courage in the soldiers eyes. It's a great job.
