Description
This photo was taken as I arrived in Rome on 21 September 2009 - it was a day of mourning in Italy as the state funeral was held for 6 Italian paratroopers who were killed in Kabul. They had been brought home the day before.
This is the country's precision flying team which flew over Rome. Maybe not the greatest of shots but I wanted to share it with you.

Thanks for remembering our soldiers killed in Afghanistan... with them, we remember all the soldiers of each country died for peace!

Fantastic capture, I am wondering what the distance was between the various levels they were flying at. Less than a week ago the 2nd Battalion The Rifles marched through Croydon, to be inspected by the Mayor. They had just arrived home after a 6 month Tour in Afghanistan, having lost 13 men and many more injured. There was also a Military Band playing. Brave young men - it was very moving.

Maybe not the greatest shot, no... but.. That's not the point.. They were paying tribute to soldiers who had paid the highest price... Its not only U.S. or U.K. troops out there ... No As this shows strikingly, Italians, and others are out there to... Respect to them... And indeed to the pilots of the planes! I have seen them.. They are Very Good.. Rob

Magnificent capture Susan! So sad all this war stuff, I feel badly for those that lost their lives, but equally as bad for those left behind! Another sad thing is we don't hear about the others countries losses here anymore, only our own.
