  Gail,
Well this makes total and complete sense! I don't always agree with the choices that the judges make on the winners here but this one is beyond deserving. Gail, I hope that you will consider framing these and seeing if they will hang them in some appropriate Veteran's locations. The content, the context, the composition of the series of Veterans shots that you did were superior! You should be VERY proud of this work! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Vicki

  Gail ... what a neat idea! I recognize the Lincoln, the Washington and Korea, but tell me, there are two treelines that I don't see the content ... the one at the bottom foreground and the one at the top background. Where are these two taken??

Congratulations on a terrific photo. I can personally relate ...Lee
