I want to offer a special comment of heart felt gratitude to all Veterans that have ever served in the US military both active and reserve from before the actual beginning of our country until now. I also want to thank all the families that have had a loved one give the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
For I bit you to remember, "There is no greater gift than to give one life for a friend."
Thank you all and God Bless You.
The Department of Veterans Affairs has put together an awesome site of resources to commemorate this day. You can find this page here…

About waynem
As a Minnesota based photographer and artist I have been greatly influenced by the Upper Midwest. I focus my skills and energies on portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural and fine art work.
My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture. The result is images that deeply touch people's emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams.

Book and magazine publishers have featured my images on their covers. My photographs also grace and enhance the decor of many fine homes.
