Description
The Moving Wall. A lone veteran. Remembering fallen friends.
I took this at the opening ceremony of the Moving Wall in Guntersville, AL July 2008 sponsored by my American Legion Rider post. We joined with the Patriot Guard Riders for a motorcycle procession through town to the Wall to open the 4 day display.
I took the photo into Picnik and did a reverse B/W to isolate the veteran, the 1st Cav flowers and the ribbon and then boosted the color slightly.

We have a memorial in our State Capitol Park. I tried once to visit it but Not long after I walked into the circle and started looking at the names and the statuary, I started sobbing and I have given the place a wide berth since. I be this is very impressive to see ... very moving, indeed.

We have visited several of the Moving Wall displays in the Southeast along with the Alabama Veterans Memorial Walls in Anniston. They never fail to bring tears from me also.

Came out well. Captures the feel of the origianl without the hurly burly of the tourists. Just one lone old, overweight geezer looking for names he knows have to be there. The thought also has to be: He could be reading My name!
