 A tribute to my son, an Iraqi War Veteran and all the men and women; wounded, fallen and safely home. Each one has given so selflessly of themselves in defense of the American way of life with Honor, Courage and Commitment. This is the true American Spirit.

Nice picture.
I like the composition, but I think you could depict the same spirit with less objects in the frame (It is a little busy, IMO).
The sepia was a great option!

The cropping is the weak part of the photo.

Ummm, folded washing? A dead soldiers clothes? I fail to get the message on what the spirit is. The JFK quote doesn't guide me either. Sorry, DNMC IMO.
