That's the first time I've seen that picture of the WWII Memorial, Aqua. Thanks for posting it, and dressing it up with the blue stars. :) So sad the numbers of brave soldiers who gave up their lives throughout the years for our country, for our freedom, for *us*.
If you do the math it's 4000 gold stars for the more than 400,000 killed!
If I get the time I'd like to expand on this with an excerpt from a speech given by John Ashcroft recently about the War on Terror in comparison to WWII. Can't find a link to the speech so will have to hand type it which can take some time to do.
