All of those stories

Looking at this, I have to wonder who provided all those roses, and then I see the nurse comforting the man in back (I wonder if more interest developed), the man in the middle getting a chance to rest, and the significantly injured man in front who nevertheless does his best to sit up when he notices the camera. Hopefully they all made it home and had long, happy lives.

[Also the man behind the man in back. - Dave]

When it's over, over there

I think that they will be (were) very happy together.

Long gone but not forgotten

God bless our veterans.
