I asked this man what the stars stood for on his Paratrooper pin. He explained that each start stood for 1 combat jump. One of those jumps was at Normandy on D-Day. This man is now 98 yrs old. WOW!!

    Awesome. His expression and the shadow cast on his eyes from the hat brim make this pretty interesting. Cool shot.

    I do wish that I would have gotten his whole chin, but I am happy with his eyes being shaded. I can still see them on my monitor.
    Thanks for your comments still!
