There is only 12 hands....  trust me, I have counted them as this island is where I lot my dad in 1945.

I go to this monument every time I'm in DC...   Since I don't know where my dad is buried, this is as close to him as I can get for now.

Thanks for sharing, RJ.  It is a good day for remembering ALL who served and are still serving.

Great job RJ, in these times I think it is more important than ever before to remember where we have come from, who went before us, those who protect us now! Thanks to all you Vet's Past, Present, and Future if it wasn't for you we would have no 4th to Celebrate!   JDW
