Tevlin usually writes bleeding-heart columns and I rarely read his stuff. But this piece is worth the read, all the way to the end...

Mine too.
I think that eagle was there for all of our fallen heros. What a symbolic pic! One for the ages imho.

Just wow — just wow.
Kathy, think this might be a nice opening pic for the Canteen someday soon? And the story, of course...

I have taken a lot of eagle pictures, but nothing with the power of this one.

My Dad, Uncle, and Grandparents are buried at Arlington ...
I usually go to visit early in the AM or at dusk ...
One time, I was there early - at my grandparents grave. Fog was rolling down the street, with the early morning sun just beginning to clear the Pentagon in the east ...
I heard an ominous clop, clop, clop from the direction of the fog. When I turned, the horse-drawn caisson began to slowly appear from the fog - silouetted with the rays of the sun from behind ...
First burial of the day - it was very humbling ...

Hate to say this, but it looks photoshopped to me.

Though I may not agree with most everything Jon Tevlin writes, I do know that he does his research very well...
