Today is Memorial Day, when we honor U.S. military personnel who died while serving our country. Above, Dan Lurie and his brother Morris. Dan, at left, won 2nd place in the Mr. America contest. Morris, at right, was in the Army in World War II and was killed in the invasion of Anzio, Italy in 1944.
Above is the Navy pre-flight school photo of Lowell William Saxton. He was a Navy pilot in World War II and was killed on June 14, 1943. I am not showing these photos to mock these men – I think there is nothing shameful about them – but to honor them.
This statue, called The Spirit of American Youth Rising From the Waves, is in the American Military Cemetery at Omaha Beach, Normandy, France. Over 9000 men who were killed in the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944 are buried there.
A rear view of that statue. Today we honor those men and all the others who gave their lives for our country.

i wish i was the one holding the hands of a nude pilot
The Lurie brothers. Amazing bodies. I'm thankful that they decided to be photographed nude. A gift to all of us.
An excellent tribute, Larry.
Nice tribute.
En France les morts de guerre américains sont sacrés pour nous.
Des hommes honorables et nobles dont les sacrifices peuvent être récompensés par les trésors du monde.
C’est honteux que l'Amérique soit dirigée pour un homme qui la dénigre, si indigne de votre présidence.

C'est vrai, Beau Mec. Merci.
Excellent! Thank you for presenting this, I almost did not find veterans from whom to buy a flag and a poppy. Finally, on Saturday I did. It is a part of Americana that I hope will never be lost.
Dan and Morris Lurie. Each with a full thick bush.
