Default Best Photo of an Eagle I've Ever Seen.
My friend and former neighbor, who served in the Marines, sent me this photo of an eagle, the symbol of our country and of our freedom, seeming to stand guard at this final resting place of some of our nation's heros.

I thought it a poignant photo and wanted to share it with my fellow TOTV'ers.

Thanks for verifying the photo's authenticity. I really appreciate it. I'm glad it appears to be a valid pic.
