I saw this over in [H]'s GenMay section, figured I'd pass it along.
Sad picture... if you dont "get it", look at it closely and think why they would need three of them.

I'm right there with you, Linda. I don't get it, but I do enjoy the photography.

They're going to recreate the Grassy Knoll event...
Oh wait, there was only "one" shooter there...
Seriously, I have no idea what it's about though  |

Civilian car, 3 rifles, a man's hands loading an embloc-clip = 21 gun salute for services. I looked at it too for awhile until I "got it".. the car was a dead give-away that I should have picked up on.

The M1 Garand used embloc clips holding 8rnds each. A WWII/Korean war rifle used today for funeral services and the Civilian Marksmanship Program.

Where is that from? Pretty cool photography. |
I dont know the origin of the photo, but some guy over in HardOCP's General Mayhem posted it and said something about doing services. It kinda touched me because we just lost a local soldier over in Iraq.. ...when his motorcade passed through town, the police gave him a 21gun, so did the VFW Club another 1000ft away, then some re-enacters gave him one as it passed by. All the police, firetrucks, EMS, and utility vehicles had their lights blazing. All cars and pedestrians came to a stop, not a word was spoken for 4 miles of town. It was the quietest I've ever heard that town in 35 years of my being on earth.
He received another 21gun at grave side. |
