My Dad was in the Navy during both WWII and Korea. I felt an emotional tug when I stood before this, the Navy uniform (see yesterday's post). For some reason, those empty shoes were especially touching. Our generation had big shoes to fill, coming along behind the "Greatest Generation."
I can feel your emotions, these are just awesome images that convey emotions perfectly!
ReplyDeleteVery touching.
ReplyDeleteThe empty clothes do make a powerful statement.
ReplyDeleteThat is a most moving memorial--it humanizes the memorial, clearly demonstrating that there were real people,regular people, involved in these events.
ReplyDeletewell captured theme
