A Last Night Together
2009-11-14
The night before the burial of her husband's body, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag.

#5  Taking Chance is an excellent movie. rather respectfully done, and it doesn't dip into the political as so much of the drivel put out lately does. it will move you so be prepared

#3  Link busted.

Took a lot of googling to find it, since it's from 2005. Try here. There's a pic.

Apparently the photographer won a Pulitzer for his feature. Click the "Works" tab to see the pictures.

#1  Christ. Those Marines understood. What could be worse, being it or understanding it? There are some things you have to just let it roll over you and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Putting the Nail in and then later drawing the Nail out. Both have a price.

Its dark and its raining and you have to get the Nail . And there isnt any easy way to do it.
