Description I remember as a small child on Liberation Day as the group posed for the victory image that we would hang in memory to those that fell during the Machine War. I remember that the haze of battle was thick and chocking as I stood there trying to get some small memento or token to remember them by. I remember getting to help clean the grime, hydraulic fluid and even blood off the armor of these hero's to our community. The Town offered them their choice of land for them to stay and settle down, but to a man they all politely refused and reminded us that there were other town's and communities that were still fighting the Artificial's and until our planet was rid of them, no one was safe. I remember my sister as she tried desperately to catch the eye of any one of them in hopes of claiming the honor of continuing their line into the future. I still remember the honor and looks that others gave my sister as she carried one of the members offspring, and then the heart wrenching pain as she died during childbirth. I remember as my Nephew turned brother grew up and joined the worlds defense forces and is now one of their top Generals as we train and prepare for the day that brings back the Artifical's Masters as they try to figure out why their inquires go unanswered.
As for me, I sit here on my porch and tell the tales of when Bad Co. came to town and freed all of us from an slow and painful death from starvation and slavery.

Definitely a bad-ass crew of heartbreakers! The subtle touch of the vehicle parked on one of the Artificials is perfect Great scene and story combined for a powerful image!

Yah there's a lot to see, but worth taking a look at everything so you don't miss it

Thanks I appreciate that you noticed that. I was in a weird place in my mind when I did that one and that is part of the reason it wasn't posted until now. I have worked in Iraq since 2004 and have my fair share of demons that need to be exorcised from time to time and this was one of those images. One of the very few that have ever gotten posted.

I've never been in that situation, and I'm sure what I can imagine pales in comparison, but I'm glad you're able to exorcise whenever you can my friend.

I won't lie to you, I have had some experiences that I will never forget and still haunt me years later but I have also had some great times here too. That sounds pretty weird I know but I was here when they actually got to vote in the first FREE elections here way back in 05/06! Makes you appreciate more what most generally take for granted back home.

Yah I know what you mean. Dad is 90 and was in WWII and there's things he won't talk about and things he'll talk about all day long. A strange mix to be sure and one you're not thanked enough for experiencing by the rest of us.

And that is the rub, that is all anyone wants to hear about. I worked in Law Enforcement before coming over here so I thought I was prepared for it, boy was I wrong. Being a civilian contractor is far different than being a soldier in a combat zone.

More of this story is what I want! Dude this is good, it has the sci-fi aspect as well of an old Crusades type theme. Bravo.

You know I never thought of it from that standpoint but you have a point there. I just wanted to do something different with the story on for that image. I made that image in Sept of last year and it has just been setting in my runtime doing nothing so I figured it was time to post it. I still have dozens of images that I haven't posted from last year.

I know, my scrap pile is full of stuff I never did anything with. Or just scrap sans the s.

You should see some of the stuff I don't post. Quality or thematicly It's sometimes embarassing.
