I love this photo. In addition to the things that others have been saying, I think it illustrates that the stereotypical notion of muscle-bound Rambos is nonsense and that freedom requires a contribution from everyone.

| One of the things I love about this shot is the contrast of his young face and his old hands. His hands look like those of a warrior while if you just look at his face you expect him to be in a school baseball uniform more than fatigues. |

| The muted colors give this touching scene an add impact. The focusing give a great depth of field. The couple really pop out of the picture. |

| I really like this shot, something about it keeps drawing me back. The young soldier returning to that which he fights to protect. Very nice depection of freedom. I find the uniform and civillian clothes to make a nice contrast as well. |

| Great photo, brings home the reality of those who are fighting to bring us freedom and what their loved ones must go through in parting with them in order to bring us this freedom. |

| They are just babies. What a wonderful capture. His dirty hands really make it look like he just came back from battle. Excellent in every way. The expressions on their faces is priceless. |

| Great capture - colors look a little weak, but that may be the intention. Great expression on the young woman's face. Nice. |
