Last week 5 soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb in Mosul, Iraq, on the morning of the President's State of the Union Address, when our president said " Al Qaida is on the run in Iraq, and this enemy will be defeated."
Those remarks will not soften the pain for the family of Cpl. Evan A. Marshall, who's family laid him to rest on Monday, February 4th, 2008.
Cpl. Marshall was loved by this community and i feel i did a good job of honoring his memory and showing how much his family and friends loved him. I truly hope that as the world grows into the 21st century, that we remember the pain and the sacrifices our soldiers and their families endure when we decide to risk their lives.
The camera i work in is not a filter; it is not something that i hide behind. I feel the emotion of the situation as much as anyone else in attendance. I funnel away the emotion for a later time.

Very emotional. I was close to tears just reading and viewing the photos.
