Wow, wasn’t expecting that. I was doing some research on lifetime value of a customer, and stumbled onto a blog whose previous post showed a pic a photographer had taken for Getty. His description is moving, and worth reading.
Here’s a passage:
The beauty and serenity of Virginia’s rolling hills and awe inspiring views of Washington D.C. clash with today’s reality of national loss, where grief is raw and in your face. You step over grass sods still taking root over freshly dug graves. You watch a mother kiss her son’s tombstone. Two soldiers put flowers and a cold beer next to the grave of a fallen buddy. A young son left a hand-written note for his dad. “I hope you like Heven, hope you liked Virginia very much hope you like the Holidays. I also see you every Sunday. Please write back!”
