1st Place POYi awards (picture of year)


First Place
Todd Heisler The Rocky Mountain News
When 2nd Lt. James Cathey's body arrived at the Reno Airport, Marines climbed into the cargo hold of the plane and draped the flag over his casket as passengers watched the family gather on the tarmac. During the arrival of another Marine's casket last year at Denver International Airport, Major Steve Beck described the scene as one of the most powerful in the process: "See the people in the windows? They'll sit right there in the plane, watching those Marines. You gotta wonder what's going through their minds, knowing that they're on the plane that brought him home," he said. "They're going to remember being on that plane for the rest of their lives. They're going to remember bringing that Marine home. And they should."

Amazing

I never cease to be amazed at the power that one still image can convey. What a contrast! I had never seen this before. Thanks for posting it.

There was a sidebar article to this event. The Flight Attendants made an announcement about the event and stated no one would be allowed to de-plane until the Honor Gaurd was finsihed. No one moved, grumbled, or said a word. Many passengers were in tears.

Another pic...

This one just emailed to me with the caption:
"For those that prefer to think that God is not watching over us...go ahead and delete this.

For the rest of us...pass this on."

Thought I'd share it here.
