I'm kind-of a japanese person... But I can really understand how the soldiers felt with this pic... Very emotional :)

Lamia on December 29, 2005, 1:01:15 PM

This picture is very respectful to WWII and I love that about this picture. And I love when this scene happened. It shows how determined Americans are to have what we have. +faves+ picture and artist.
