As a Marine wife and mother, this photo brings tears to my eyes. I have been in that position and when he comes home its the best.

I saw this photo in an ad today, it must have been bought for a campaign. Straight 8 has many beautifully composed military photos.

You realize that Humana Healthcare is using this image as a member logs out of his page, right? No clouds though, but this is the image.... I hope you made a 'killing' on this image as Humana has millions of members.

Great photo- I happened to see it used in an ad in our local paper today, for mid continent cable, and wanted to make sure you knew it was being used commercially, it has been altered from the original image here (different sky).
