I have decided to withhold the names of any servicpersons currently "in 
country". The page will only show their picture and the alt text will say 
"currently serving". I will, however save the picture with the rank, name 
and year, and store it on my computer, not the Internet server, so that at 
such time as the serviceperson is safely back home, I can show them by name.

The page has grown by one picture so far. You can see it at 
http://www.educationalsynthesis.org/holidays/veterans.html

Please send those pictures of your proud young warriers, men and women, and 
please, please, persons of all colors.

Thanks,

Anne
