I like this Iwo Jima-type pic from another post on FR.

[Billie]

Oh, wow - that photographer certainly knew what he was doing, didn't he? Fantastic.

[The Raven]

I wish I had the negative

[Billie]

It's one of the few I've saved, but it just got to me. I've spent most of this morning looking at pictures from websites someone's emailed me about or that have been posted here on the forum. We tend to see the same ones over and over and over and over on TV.

Although the circumstances are different, the sentiment is the same... WE WILL PREVAIL!

[LBGA]

Darn, I forgot to reset the width on the Iwojima pic after the first pic I found didn't link. They may be smooshed, but they prevailed... and we will. too.

Thank you for posting this! I've sent this to others. I've read so often how much the world hates us, it's nice to see the honest hearted show their caring. I wish some of the NY family members could see this.

Brian Williams of MSNBC just put these two photos up on the air, doing the same side-by-side comparison.

These photos definitely bring a tear to the eye...

[pubmom]

Thank you, I have tears.

   Yes, thank you for the pictures. I, too, found the one of the little girl to be priceless. I called to my wife, and said, "I wonder what she's looking at?"

   My darling wife said "She's looking at her angel."

   "...and a little child shall lead them."
