War Veteran (renomination)
Voting period ends on 21 Nov 2013  at 07:12:47 (UTC)
 * Reason:A historic image with striking emotional impact which greatly adds depth to the article it is used in. The image was nominated originally in 2005, but was not promoted due to its (at the time) low-resolution copy, a replacement for which was unable to be found. I did some research today and located a high-quality version of the image at the National Archives and Records Administration website, which I have uploaded.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Veterans Day
 * FP category for this image:American History
 * Creator:Uploaded by Petaholmes, cited by the NARA as having been taken by the DoD

 * Oppose - Whomever cropped this image made a number of bad decisions, most notably cutting off the flag, both elbows, and the boot which I assume is in the veteran's lap. I'd love to see if the original, uncropped version, can be found, as I'm sure we could do a better job with it.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  21:53, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
