It would have been very easy to see the young Marine, realize what a powerful image he makes with that proud salute from his wheelchair and completely miss the mom who is saluting in a way only a mom can salute. My hat is off to the photographer. I have a website where I post some of my favorite pictures that I've taken. Check it out if you get a few minutes.

This link will send you to a section that a variety of pictures, many taken for the newspaper. At the bottom of the left column is a link to photos by John W Parker, click that and it will take you to my index page. Most of them are pretty boring, lots of birthday parties, etc. but every once in a while you'll come across one that's interesting.

Jwpjr, thank you so much for the link to your wonderful pictures. I especially like the ones of the children--you've really caught the expressions that write their moments' stories in that as a viewer, one is drawn in. I sure appreciate them, and that you gave those pictures to me as a gift.

And like you, I am in complete awe of the vision of this God-gifted photographer, who snapped today's beyond-words, bigger than life, MOMENT'S story and, ALSO in that shutter's blink, a LIFE'S story, of Marine Casey Owens and his loving mother.

May God bless and shine down on this mother and son.
