This was a candid of Heath and Jacob being very intent on this one grave. After taking their picture, I walked around to see what had fascinated them about this one. At the top of the wreath was an actual photo of the soldier in uniform (in sepia tones if you can make it out). I also wondered why the lettering on the cross was brown when most of the others were just engraved into the white marble. Looking closely, I saw that it was sand from the beach rubbed into the letters. This was the cse with a few other gravestones scattered throughout the cemetery as well. It was amazing to see how many of the graves had flowers or wreaths laid at them- halfway around the world from their hometowns.
