Generations of Valor

In honor of Veterans Day, I would like to post an Associated Press photograph that first appeared in newspapers in November 2004. The occasion of the photograph was a Veterans Day Commemoration at Dallas City Hall on November 11, 2004. The veterans pictured are Houston James, a survivor of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, and Marine Staff Sgt. Mark Graunke Jr., a memeber of an ordnance disposal team who lost his left hand, one leg, and an eye while defusing a bomb in Iraq in July 2003.
