| No they're not. Did you shoot them? I shot for the Air Force for 24 years. I can literally clog this site with imagery. Anyway, here's one of Veteran61's Father I'm doing for him.

| Wonderwhy....yes most of the Navy shots were taken by her boyfriend. I've many others. Others that I got off his camera memory cards. I also have many others from Marines and other branches....I've just not been given permission to share them here as of yet. GOD bless you for your service in shooting photos...I was not there myself. But that is not what I was as asking or implying either. I just asked if there were any who wanted to share theirs. These were just to get it started for those to share theirs. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOURS WITH THE DH COMMUNITY. NO OFFENSE WAS EVER INTENTED TO ANYONE. Please don't take sharing photos sooooo personal.
Many shared theirs with me.....and I just wanted to give them a place to share them with all those of us who were not there. To show what life in the military is REALLY all about. Not what is shown of TV. ??????

| Grrrr, I'm going to try to send them to you ma'am if that's ok?
I'm not sure what to do with them myself lol.
Either way, the one with the fishing boats left on high ground is an interesting one, if sobering.

| You stay up for 16 hours.
He stays up for days on end
You take a warm shower to help you wake up.
He goes days or weeks without running water
You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.
He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.
You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends.
He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.
You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket.
He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags.
You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.
He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.
You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.
He patrols the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists.
You complain about how hot it is.
He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow.
You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong.
He doesn't get to eat today.
Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.
He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean.
You go to the mall and get your hair redone.
He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.
You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.
He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months.
You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.
He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.
You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday.
He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.
You roll your eyes as a baby cries.
He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet.
You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.
He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting.
You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him.
He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded.
You see only what the media wants you to see.
He sees the broken bodies lying around him.
You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.
He does exactly what he is told even if it puts his life in danger.
You stay at home and watch TV.
He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat.
You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable.
He tries to sleep but gets woken by mortars and helicopters all night long.
It's not like you know the men and women that are dying to preserve your rights.
