Eight-year-old Christian Golczynski accepts the flag for his father, Marine Staff Sgt. Marc Golczynski, during a memorial service. Marc Golczynski was shot on patrol during his second tour in Iraq (which he had volunteered for) just a few weeks before he was due to return home.
I’m not a person who takes easily to tears. But these images, which I came across through Facebook, made me cry. It’s a cruel world we live in. I have great respect for war photographers out there. They do an important job of showing the rest of us that life is not a bed of roses.
