For “Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Shadows” of this week…
Loyal readers know of my love for WWII combat veteran “Old Man Jack”.
After suffering through seven decades of nightmares of war, he is now finally at peace. Hopefully, he is resting comfortably beneath these shadows cast by my two youngest kids and I:
And a shadow cast by Old Glory:
For new visitors, please feel free to click and read one story of this great American who is now all but being forgotten in our new “Common Core” history textbooks. He earned the honor to be remembered:

wow – great pictures and warm sympathies to ya….
I appreciate that… Thanks.
I love these pictures Koji. I know you miss Old Man Jack. And you honor him with your memories and affection.
I think of him often, Chatter Master. Quite often.
I know you do Koji. And how that must make him feel. 🙂
You know I think of your father and Jack quite often, just as I hear you mention Smitty’s name in your comments to me. We show our gratitude to them by keeping the memories alive. Thank you, Koji.
You are waaay in front in keeping their memories alive, gpcox. Way ahead. 😉
So sad. 😦
Sorry I made you feel sad, LFFL… but thank you for visiting…
Poignant study!! Rest in peace all who have fought!
I am sure they heard your kind thoughts and are smiling…
RIP Old Man Jack. I’m sad your life was strewn with those nightmares. Wishing you pleasant peaceful dreams.
Koji: the photos are so powerful.
Thank you for your sentiments to Jack…and your too kind comments!
Beautiful and emotional black and white photography and shadows.
Thank you, Cee. Your challenge is fun to participate in!
Beautiful, Koji. You’re an inspiration. I posted my first attempt this week. 🙂
I did read it when you posted it but my comments for both you and Ms. Tejera are missing. I think its the app?
Wonderful photos and a beautiful tribute.
Thank you Linda. As I mentioned to Jan above, two comments I thought I posted…didn’t. 😦 My apologies.
It feels like an honor to even see these photos, Koji. They were perfect for Cee’s challenge, and very moving.
Thank you, Debra. You are always so kind and thoughtful…
Those shadows over the grave are like poetry. Black and white is right too.
Thank you, Hilary. Always so kind! 🙂 I do miss Old Man Jack…
