Skywatch Friday: Veterans remembered

Posted on May 23, 2014

I dedicate today’s post to my uncles, cousins, and all veterans of war, remembering the price each paid ~ some with their lives and others placing their lives on hold to keep us safe.

This image originally appeared on one of my older blogs click here to see other similar photos. Today, I changed it a bit using Fotor. I bumped the exposure up a little, applied a vignette to the edges, and circular tilt shift effect to bring full focus on the man saluting this nation’s fallen heroes.

There are not enough words of gratitude I can offer to every man or woman who has served our great country or to the families who lost someone they love to keep America free. All I can give is my humble, thanks and prayers!

Image captured the same day as above but I’m sharing it for the first time this morning. Lightened exposure slightly and applied vertical tilt shift in Fotor.

Please, thank a serviceman for all he/she does each time an opportunity presents itself. God bless our troops and God bless the USA!

Joining fellow photographers from around the globe on Skywatch Friday!

    I always find war memorials very poignant. Each name represents so many families and so much heart break and sadness and for me brings back memories of friends and family who were killed in war.

    Beautiful shots and tribute to your heroes! “God bless America” I love the sound of that, and sometimes I sing it when I’m alone, in low pitch 🙂
