~Andrew Schüler
“A solider on any side is just following orders. We train for war hoping it never comes. But when it does it affects everyone. He could of been drafted to fight against what he believed in. Remember war is hell.”
~David Harigle Jr

“I want to thank everyone for posting and offering their comments on this powerful image of a German soldier that could be any soldier of any war. Pictures speak volumes and when they are this powerful, no words are needed. Thank you for your compassion and comments. My father was a decorated 101st Airborne paratrooper who for many years would not buy anything of German or Japanese make.”
~Jenny La Sala
