Having a knowledge of history and an open, questioning, mind should be a requisite for pride. Six year olds have one, but hardly have the other. Of course as they grow older they tend to lose the one they had and gain the one they didn't.

Well according to you then I don't understand it either cause I have never been outside the United States!



Anna, you have never, never been outside of the States?

Ursula, I have never been out of the States, I've been all over the east coast and yet I still have never been out of the states, I'm only about 4 hours from Canada and still I just have never been there. Can you believe it???

I thought he looked scared, or worried. I think it makes a powerful statement about the uncertainties of post 9/11 America. But I think that's not the message you were aiming for. I also tried to figure out if the ribbon was in the shape of anything, lower states, any state or what.


Actually you are the first person to say that, I thought as I looked at it, it reminded me of a little boy at home and the kind of image a father might get as he was in battle, remembering that he is fighting for so that little boy at home might have a better life. And yet at the same time there was just something I wasn't real fond of about the whole image and I still can't figure it out.


Must be my perspective then. My little boy looks a lot like yours and he's currently in Afghanistan with a machine gun. Must be ME thats scared and worried.

I can believe it.
I think you've met the objectives of the contest. Though it does look like an ad for a new youth brigade, or an old soviet-style propoganda campaign.

I think using the boy is fine. It shows hope of the future.. if he is looking up at the flag's direction. I agree that I do not like him looking down.
good idea on the shape thing emorgan49.
