Is This The Perfect Memorial Day Picture? Web Denizens Cry Fowl Over Viral Image. We’ve been thinking how to honor our valiant Veterans this morning then we found this. Frankly we couldn’t do any better. Prayers and a IHTM salute for all those who have died defending our freedom.

That picture is perfect.
I saw the photo, Loved it, It hits deep down, then I saw some little libturd with a serious mental issue started thumbing people down....And the irony meter hits ten again. Those people died you stupid prick so you could have the ability to thumb down the people here. It is called freedom, A concept which liberals neither understand nor want...Do us all a favor, jump into a running woodchipper and become fertilizer...
There is another point to be made here that this serendipitous picture may have had some divine intervention. I feel it. I am okay with this, but others may not be. Many people pray for the military and are thankful for those that have died either in combat or after they have served. They may feel a Divine presence from this picture and be okay with it and those that feel but aren't okay with it may lash out against it. That is just how I feel maybe the reasoning behind some of the hate.
The Eagle looks like an angel on top of the tombstone. The Eagle has been a Christian symbol for centuries as well. It may just make some people uncomfortable as to what it could mean for this Eagle to be there and to be there at a time a human was able to capture it and share it with the loved one of that particular tomb and of course everyone else moved by it.
It's been a long day folks. A few tears, a lot of laughter, just all around a good day to be an American. Everyone take care and may God bless America.
Thanks Mr. Editor, you guys found the perfect picture. This may not be the perfect song about Memorial Day but it brings a tear to my eyes every time I hear it.

These excerpts are from the book On Combat, by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman.
"Most of the people in our society are sheep. They are kind, gentle, productive creatures who can only hurt one another by accident."
"I mean nothing negative by calling them sheep. To me it is like the pretty, blue robins egg. Inside it is all soft and gooey but someday it will grow into something wonderful. But the egg cannot survive without its hard blue shell. Police officers, soldiers and other warriors are like that shell, and someday the civilization they protect will grow into something wonderful. For now though, they need warriors to protect them from the predators."
"Then there are the wolves and the wolves feed on the sheep without mercy. Do you believe there are wolves out there? You better. There are evil men in this world and they are capable of evil deeds. The moment you forget that or pretend it is not so, you become a sheep. There is no safety in denial."
"Then there are sheepdogs." (All of you here at IHTM who have served, including me, then the law dogs like not so silent, we are the sheepdogs.) "I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf. If you have no capacity for violence then you are a healthy productive citizen, a sheep. If you have a capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined an aggressive sociopath, a wolf. But what if you have a capacity for violence and a deep love for your fellow citizens? Then you are a sheepdog, a warrior, someone who is walking the hero's path. Someone who can walk into the heart of darkness, into the universal human phobia, and walk out unscathed."
"The sheep generally do not like the sheepdog, he looks a lot like the wolf. He has fangs and the capacity for violence. The difference though, is that the sheepdog must not, cannot and will not ever harm the sheep. Any sheepdog who intentionally harms the lowliest little lamb will be punished and removed. The world cannot work any other way, at least not in a representative democracy or republic such as ours."
These are just a few quotes from the section "On Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs", it would take up way too much space to post it all. But these few excerpts pretty much say it all. All veterans and those serving now, all our lawmen who walk the beat, we know the wolves are out there and only we can stop them. The majority, the good gentle people, the sheep, will never be able to do so on their own.
May God bless America and the men and women in uniform who protect our freedoms.
I just saw "American Sniper" and the Father was making a point around these lines.
Who's the dickwad that TD'd this? Oh I know, a sheep.
Must be the same turd that usually TDs Kimmy and occasionally me.
Not sure what is wrong with the stupid hater :-/ Doesn't he or she have a life?
No.
ARF!
Maybe the leftists would have been happier if the eagle was pooping on the headstone. Too bad for them, this was just a great picture, and it's even better that there are leftists getting their knickers in a knot over it!
And the liberals are going nuts because it doesn't convey their belief that veterans are nothing more then brainwashed baby killers.
They stood up for him and now he stands watch over them. For those who have gone on before and paid the ultimate sacrifice. You are remembered, revered, honored and missed. Rest well, we will continue the fight. For those with their boots in the shit. Stay vigilant, stay safe and we will WELCOME you HOME upon your arrival.
For those of you who hate upon this nation. KMA. Those in the graves throughout our military cemeteries and others, gave you the right to be a hater. Try being a hater in China, or Cuba. Then your whiny pussy ass will be crying "I'm an American, you can't do this to me".
