Awesome friends. Good sports. Team players. Caring constituents. I could think of tons more ways to describe our faithful readers. But I will stop here and just say THANK YOU to everyone who answered our call to participate in the Veterans History Project’s bookmark image selection process. We have tallied all of the input that came pouring in—online, via email and in person—and are pleased to announce the top five images in order of popularity. [Drum roll, please!]

    Ooh, yeah, I love all of these wonderful photos!

    But I’m happy to see that the one I voted for, Frances Wills Thorpe, was the favorite of so many others as well.
