Awesome. I think I'm gonna use the pic of the soldier with rifle and Bayonet mounted as a new desktop background.

Thanks for posting the link to Picture ;)s of the greatest generation doing what needed to be done. My dad served with the 101st Airborne in europe and his brother, my uncle, served with the Marines at Saipan and didn't come back. We need to thank all of our service men & women both old and young.l

We owes those people a debt of honor.  We can only pay it forward by stopping Obama's "fundamental transformation".
No Obama care.
No Crap and trade.
No false immigration reform.
"Duty, Honor, Country"

Picture #9:

U.S.S Hornet. For the Doolittle Raid. There was a TW stationed on that vessel,...My Grandfather. Boatswains Mate 1st Class.

Still have his Bluejacket's Manual, and hopefully a portion of his character, wisdom, and Love Of Country.

Thank You, m25.

Very cool TW, I kept looking for my uncle in those pics, 14 yrs old, at Pearl Harbor, his mom lied that he was 16 to join the Navy. Lost an eye, and went back on duty post haste.
