Man thanks for the ping JT, Im proud to live where this hero lives. It struck me how he still loved his country after all he had been through, and how he could make a camera that worked with only his mind and cardboard.

Many times Ive thought of these old guys dying away so fast, and the thought of losing Americans of such unequaled caliber. The thought is depressing to me, I fear most of us are candy asses compared to them. I know I am.

But they certainly set a great example for us to follow.
Im going to check out his pics now.

I understand your sentiment and these were the best of men, I can't agree. Reading some of the stories from Iraq about our men's bravery, courage and standard-issue American decency leaves me just as silent.

Americans are special people. No matter what the self-loathing traitors in this country would have you believe.
