A Moment of Tragic Beauty

Andrew Sullivan pointed out pictures of a funeral for Specialist James Kiehl. The photos and the description are of a deep respect and care for the family and the fallen; this one touched me deeply.

For all the jokes I've ever made about Texans (being from Colorado, it's almost mandatory), I humbly apologize. I may never see more beautiful pictures of American patriotism.

See for yourself.

That's how I felt, too.

Yes, I posted them over on my site too. They are truly as beautiful as they are somber.
