@ CherryTAP This is Doug.This to me is the best picture of 2006. I am trying to get him to enter the contest that WolfEagle his having.He has told me that if he hears from more than just me that he should join he will. I would be helping to promote his picture and would love to for anyone and everyone to help promote his picture. This should not be a popularity contest...This should be everyone looking at all of the entrys and voting for the best picture of 2006. If you beleive that Doug should enter his picture in the contest please leave him a comment here.I appreciate it!

In a Soldier's Eyes.... To look into a soldier's eyes, the window to their soul. Look out from inside their mind and see horrors never told. You say we are just killers, it's not that plain you see. Take a walk inside my boots and see what I have seen. Many innocent lives taken and soldiers, they were some. Giving their life freely to get the mission done. The last cold stare of death, we see in our buddies eyes. They fought for all your freedom, this is why we die. Some wonder why we fight to protect this nation and maybe lose our life. Ask this question to a soldier, the answers in their eyes. Always will we be here waiting, the call we won't deny. We'll always fight for freedom, never asking why. We'll go away to far off lands , leaving our loved ones behind. Many times we die alone, several times inside. Open windows to our soul, see the tears we hide. Secrets that we cannot keep are in a soldier's eyes

TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING THROUGH THE DESERT. DURING SOME POINT OF THE JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE IN THE FACE. THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING, WROTE IN THE SAND: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE. THEY KEPT ON WALKING, UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS, WHERE THEY DECIDED TO TAKE A BATH THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE MIRE AND STARTED DROWNING, BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM. AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM THE NEAR DROWNING, HE W ROTE ON A STONE: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE ". THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND ASKED HIM, "AFTER I HURT YOU, YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW, YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?" THE FRIEND REPLIED "WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY. BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING GOOD FOR US, WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE WHERE NO WIND CAN EVER ERASE IT." LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.
