Duty.....
My idea was to find a veterans grave (preferably KIA) in town cemetery ... to pose some scene..... found several........
what struck me about this one was he is a vietnam vet and about 1 1/2 years younger than me, when I have been thinking that most all were older than me by 2 or more years.
Andrew H Nelson, Mich, PFC USMC, Vietnam, #### 1954 - June 11 1972
(I was unsuccessful in finding other info about him.)
(I know a couple Nelson families since I have lived in area since 1979.)
I dont know if this guy served out of a sense of duty, or was drafted, or enlisted as a form of employment, or what......
And are others there WWI, WWII, Korea and others, and monument to "all".
And a monument to Spanish-American War veterans. Huh, knowledge of that escaped my memory, so I had to look up some info on that.

Sense of Duty?
Parked in front of Gillian's Place which is the largest Shelter for Women in my city.
Their annual fundraiser was to "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" with men donning pink or red high heels for a stroll in the mall.
Not for me so instead i painted some old Alpinestars pink and went for a ride to raise awareness and funds.

Redman. I had a similar Idea for this week, but couldn't pull it off. Well done, Dave.
Redman.
Weirdly, the deceased soldier is almost exactly the same age as me, and my folks were seriously thinking of emigrating to the US in the mid-60s... would have had me caught in the last draft, perhaps, but by that time the drafts were tailing off.

Steve gets my vote.
Death in war I terrible. Especially the innocent. The on going violence against woman by men isn't recognised enough.

According to the CDC, homicide is the fourth leading cause of death for girls and women one to 19 years old, and the fifth leading cause of death for women 20 to 44.
In Australia

I cannot disagree with Redman's pic as being the runaway winner, bur I am going to cast my vote for Steve Murdoch and extend an attaboy to 650Skull for his followup on a matter that very much deserves attention. Interesting theme this week. It drew out the fact that we GSR members are not just a bunch of pretty faces.
