A Silhouette In Time

Inside the caves at Valkenburg, we found evidence of their history all over the walls. These silhouettes were taken of American soldiers during WWII. The soldiers used these caves as a hideout from enemy forces. Jews were also hidden in the caves at various times during the War. Today, they have to have grating over the silhouettes in order to protect from graffiti. It is sad that others do not have a respect for history, and cannot understand that if history is not preserved, it could be repeated. So here's a prayer in time, thanking God for protecting our men and women in uniform, and for their dedicated service, no matter what conflicts they may be a part of.

It is actually very stylish at the moment to use industrial pieces, such as grating, in decorating. When the thumbnail photo came up on your post I thought it was one of the decorating blogs I follow!
