As Memorial Day Nears, a Single Image That Continues to Haunt - NYTimes.com"It is the one and only photo that makes me cry each time I see it.
What brings the tears to my eyes is not just the bereaved young woman, but the Marine who stands behind her.
In an earlier photo in the series, we see him building her a little nest of blankets on the air mattress.
Sweet Lord, I cry just typing the words, the matter-of-fact tenderness is so overwhelming."
