Even the most loved among us must die sometime. How sad to see her go. I feel like I knew her.

I remember reading once that the nurse slapped the sailor as they were complete strangers. Maybe an urban legend but an interesting tidbit to a tremendous photo.

Wow, her passing feels like an exclamation point on the proud and joyful times of our country; passing through our fingers like water.
Rest in peace, Edith Shain.
