[[Image:VeteransWorld War I veteran Joseph Ambrose, 86, at the dedication day parade for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in 1982.jpg|thumb|A US Veteran from WWI holds the flag which covered his son's casket.]]

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]].

**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)

**With the Thanksgiving weekend break upon us I took the time to do a really thourgh search fo a larger version of this picture; however, having spent most of today looking I can now say with some certinty that this is most likely as large as it is going to get. Sorry. [[User:TomStar81|TomStar81]] 06:24, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

*** Oh well, thanks for searching anyway. [[User:Enochlau|Enochlau]] 23:05, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
