A Russian war veteran kneels beside the tank he spent the war in, now a monument.
This picture would have to be my favorite because it shows a veteran truly, emotionally attached to this tank he spent his war experience in. I love how the photographer captured him in his kneeling position, leaning forward, crying. This photo has a lot of emotional appeal to it, and it's heart-touching. <3

Pearl Harbor survivor Houston James of Dallas is overcome with emotion as he embraces Marine Staff Sgt. Mark Graunke Jr. during the Dallas Veterans Day Commemoration at Dallas City Hall in 2005. Sgt Graunke, who was a member of a Marine ordnance-disposal team, lost a hand, leg, and eye while defusing a bomb in Iraq in July of 2004.
This photo truly is amazing. It shows so much emotion between the two, Marine and the Pearl Harbor survivor. Both have tears in their eyes and respect for each other. I love how the photographer captured the Marines' prosthetic hand, showing the true strength and will of the soldiers.

Eight-year-old Christian Golczynski accepts the flag for his father, Marine Staff Sgt. Marc Golczynski, during a memorial service. Marc Golczynski was shot on patrol during his second tour in Iraq (which he had volunteered for) just a few weeks before he was due to return home.
This photo is just heartbreaking and amazing in so many ways. The photo just captures so much emotion between the two. The soldier passing the little boy the flag, shows so much compassion and sorrow for the family. The little boy accepting the flag looks so heartbroken and in sorrow due to his loss but strong at the same time. Looking and writing about this picture brought tears to my eyes, this photo is so amazing and sad. <3
My heart goes out to all the families and troops. Thank you for serving our country and protecting Americas citizens. We all appreciate it greatly!
