Absolutely! It's so much easier to pray for them when we can see what they look like. (yeah, that's it)
Post 'em if you got 'em - just no personal info about the serviceman if he's active, Please.
The best I could find was this "muskrat love" deal.
Help. I need another fix of military might!!!
Now that is Might-tay!
===============
There are three shadows on the back wall.
The gentleman in the middle of the pix is casting the shadow on the far left.
The gentleman's shadow, on the right-hand side, is the hazy form directly behind the gentleman in the middle.
The shadow that is second from the left is from a 'third' gentleman that is out of frame on the far right-hand (that is way his shadow is less distinct that the shadow on the far left) side and facing in a similar direction as the gentleman on the left. The shadow of the 'missing man' is further seen at about the Left-Hand Pocket area of the gentleman on the far left. That little shadow is the 'missing man's' hands.
The gentleman on the right is facing backwards and cannot be the one casting the second shadow. (His hands are higher and his head appears to be bowed as if he's looking for the closer on his pants (zipper - buttons - belt buckle - etc...)
I was just sooo distracted by the Marine on the left my analytical skills went out the window.
I'm sorry I asked! &;-)
Somewhere in Afghanistan.
Why post this? I don't know...I just keep going back to it. Great photo and I, sincerely, pray that night around the fire is a memory they tell their grandchildren about.
