Find the cost of freedom - securing

I could not find the words to criticize these pics even if they were not good.You did good and the images speak for themselves.They are perfect as a documentary style i think and with such strong imagery technical qualities are not important.Even though he is retired i still found myself a little choked up. Frame up a collage for them and they would be happy i am sure.

Edit to add... I am not saying they lack technical quality at all,just commenting on the fact that strong images stand on their own sometimes.

I'm a former Royal Marine and I find this series of pictures not only excellent as documentary photography but personally very moving especially when today I learned a sergeant in my old unit 42 Royal Marine Commando was killed while on patrol in Afghanistan by an I.E.D, and although it's many years since I left the military I still often remember the friends we left behind :sad:

Benjiboy, thank you for your comments. I posted these in tribute to people like you and your old friend.

Thank you for your service.

Edit to add: We having a thunderstorm right now. I don't know if it means anything, but seconds after I hit "post message", a lightning bolt struck about 30 feet outside the open window where I am sitting. It almost knocked me out of my chair.
