National Cemetery-Beverly NJ Photograph
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower, speech, American Society of Newspaper Editors, 16 April 1953

One should take pause when visiting these hallowed places. The freedoms and luxuries we enjoy were built on the shortened lives of others. I think your imagery did them justice.
Amen brother. Be well
