At 88 years old, he still remembers vivdly landing the first wave of

Marines from the 5th Division onto the beaches of Iwo Jima. He still

speaks of the battles, bloodshed and uncommon bravery of the young

men on that day and the days and weeks to follow. He recalls the

courage, the comraderie and commtment of his fellow brothers in arms.

These men are truly our heroes and join the ranks of thousands who

have given the ulitamte sacfirice to keep our nation free. We owe them

all a great "thank you", Once a Marine, always a Marine - Semper Fi,

Daddy

Actual B&W building...thanks!

Two babies sharing a moment. Thanks.

Juan,

For those of us who love our "animals" as family and have had to go down this terribly, sad journey, your photo says it all. Just looking at this brings tears to my eyes, as I have two elderly "babies" now who may not be far from here. Black and white only adds to the incredible feeling of the moment because in real life, this is a black and white moment. I hope in sharing with us, you realize that even tho this is personally profound, you have touched us all. God bless......I'm sure those biscuits in heaven taste really good.

See attached comment.

His name was just a number, but he had legions of human followers and few equals among his own species. MIghty bull elk #6 was found dead February 12, 2009 from a freak accident just north of Yellowstone National Park. He tripped while trying to cross a fence, and somersaulted onto his back with his huge antlers pinned beneath him. There, unable to rise, #6 slowly suffocated to death. He was a truly magnificent animal with a trophy sized rack that would have scored 356 5/8 on the Boone and Crockett scale. He was about 15 years old and weighed 725 pounds at his death. Normally the Park would not release a notice on the death of an animal, but #6 and his sparring partner #10 were infamous in the area for their aggressiveness during the mating season. Number 6 was credited with thousands of dollars of damage to tourist vehicles over the years and to the occasional visitor who ventured too close. He was a definite favorite of visitors. It was very impressive to watch such a huge, powerful animal. He is "survived" by a huge harem of female elk and countless "children". This photo was taken last October during the mating season. I thought you might be interested in the update. We all will truly miss seeing #6.
