I was involved in a similar situation! Mine was from Vietnam War and was just returned home after 32 years lost after his plane went down. His wife was still waiting for him. Thanks to all for their service for our freedom!

Indeed a powerful image - thank you for give a detailed description of who he 'is' - condolences to his family and friends...
well taken picture - i just regret one that others will have the opportunity to take...though each should be - so each is not forgotten.
