Description
Preparing for Battle - Memorial Day Tribute. My take, inspired by photo by Shirak K. Milshtein (Preparing for Battle). I dedicate this to those who believe the safety of others is worth the risk of their own lives.
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear." Ambrose Redmoon
"Courage is fear that has said its prayers." Dorothy Bernard
Those that so easily send these young people to live moments they never imagined and will never forget should think much longer and much harder about ways NOT to send them!

Wow Ann, such beautiful art and so timely for today. Your quotes gave me chills, they are so powerful. Peace seems to be so elusive, I keep thinking we just repeat and repeat. Do not understand why we have not learned. Maybe we have, doesn't feel that way. Sorry to go on, the wars we are currently in have gotten to me. A very excellent tribute to our courageous men and women in service.

Funny thing Sharon. In the original photo the second man was standing next to more figure. But I decided to make him look like our "star's" imagination of who he thought he'd be in that situation even though it was so far from his true feelings. So you saw the picture exactly as I intended. Thanks again!
