Tyler Ziegel and Renee: One Year On

[Credo]

The linked piece is a followup on Tyler Ziegel and Renee Kline, the subjects of Nina Berman well-known photo "Marine Wedding" (see below). It was part of a larger collection of the same name (see: http://www.ninaberman.com/index3.php?pag=prt&dir=marine). Another collection of interest is Berman's Purple Hearts (see here: http://www.ninaberman.com/index3.php?pag=prt&dir=imagesph).

Anyhow, the following article is a fitting read this Veteran's Days.

A picture says a thousand words.

What a harrowing piece. This made me angry:

There has only been one incident where there’s been trouble. A little over a year ago they were leaving a bar and a bunch of local college kids made fun of Ty. There was a fight.

“They made fun of him, called him a freak. You can’t just brush that off. Someone’s got the audacity to do that to someone who served his country, protecting them?” He looks at me, still pained by this, and shakes his head.

People like that should be hung.
