Operation Enduring Freedom: freedom cannot always be endured. My heart goes out to warriors, their families, and their collateral damage. It is a circle of blood.

My favourite image of this challenge (I gave it an 8). I find it a shame (although in retrospect somewhat predictable) that it finished so low and with a score of <5. Despite being abstract this (imo) fits the challenge much better than the majority of the highest scoring entries that while perhaps 'good' images, I found somewhat soulless (or in some cases, missing the point). This entry, for me, really conveys emotion which I think is the most important factor and a real tribute to all those who've lost their lives in war.
I'm glad you're never perturbed by the threat of low scores when entering abstracts like this Don, I won't pretend to 'get' all your entries, but whenever you come up with one such as this I find it hard to understand how it can be so underappreciated by the voters. I guess that's art =).
My Grandpa was in the Army WW1, Dad was in the Navy WW2, I was in the Army Viet Nam and my Grandson in the Army is headed to Afghanistan. My Wife's ex died in Nam. Very beautiful image Don.
