I saw this picture just now, and it struck a cord with me. The photo is credited as a U.S. Census Bureau image uploaded by [[User:Petaholmes]] and currently appearing in the article [[Veterans Day]].

*'''Oppose'''. Image is too small for FP, <s>and frankly, I have trouble supporting a image when we dont know for sure what war he is a veteran of.</s> -[[User:Lanoitarus|Lanoitarus]] 19:16, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
**We ''do'' know, if the metadata on the image page is correct:
**:''Joseph Ambrose, an 86-year-old World War I veteran, attends the dedication day parade for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. He is holding the flag that covered the casket of his son, who was killed in the Korean War.'' &mdash;[[User:Cryptic|Cryptic]] [[User talk:Cryptic|(talk)]] 21:07, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
***Ah, I didnt see that the first time, and the original nomination said the war was unknown. My mistake. I rescind that part of my objection, however i still object based on image size. - [[User:Lanoitarus|Lanoitarus]] 22:53, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
*'''Support''' Good picture, even if small. [[User:Borisblue|Borisblue]] 07:58, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
*'''Support''' Very poignant; would be preferable if the image was bigger, though. [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 10:25, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
*'''Support''': so striking and poignant, it doesn't matter that it is small. [[User:CDThieme|CDThieme]] 00:29, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
**I am aware that some of you wish to have an enlarged version of this picture, so I have been searching for one for the past few days; however, as the fall finals aproach more and more of my time has been spent studying so that I can aviod another semester of academic probation. I, too, would like to see a larger version of the picture, but right now I can't spare the hours needed to roam the web in search of a bigger photo.

*'''Oppose''' - Absurdly small.--[[User:Deglr6328|Deglr6328]] 03:43, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
**I had some free time today, and went looking for a larger version of the picture. I stumbled across [http://www.vfwcad13.org/Taps.htm this site], which has the picture credited as a USAF photo by Mickey Sanborn taken in 1982, but I can't find a hi-res version. Did we even have high resolution images in 1982? [[User:TomStar81|TomStar81]] 20:09, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
