Powerful Photos

There is a very powerful photo essay on the New York Times website called "A Mournful Month." It shows some very intense photos taken during funerals at Arlington National Cemetery over this past month. I have to say here, these pictures are not easy to look at yet they are something that I think we need to bear witness to. If you can just slow down and imagine these scenes with the pipes or the trumpets sounding in the background playing amazing grace or taps. These photos also evoke many very difficult and hard questions to ask and even harder to answer.
