Bald Eagle Lands On Grave At U.S. Military Cemetery. This is pretty cool - talk about an amazing photo. Thanks to Neatorama.com for passing this one along: "Frank Glick, an amateur photographer, captured this amazing image at Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minnesota. He thought that the family of the veteran buried at that gravestone might like to have a copy, and did some research on Sgt. Maurice Ruch. Ruch, a veteran of World War II, was a US Army marksman who served in the Aleutian Islands and earned a Bronze Star. Then he went home, became an engineer and got married. John Tevlin of the Star Tribute spoke with Ruch’s widow, Vivian, and best friend, Jack Kiefner: I told Vivian that some cultures believe the eagle is a symbol, not only of patriotism and dignity, but a messenger between heaven and earth. She nodded solemnly. “I’d say the eagle had a very good eye when he landed on Maurie, and he was respected,” she said. “I miss him,” said Vivian as she picked up the photo. “He was a good man and a good provider.”


So far I've not found ANYTHING to dispute the above..AND YES it is an AWSOME picture

Bald Eagle Lands On Grave At U.S. Military Cemetery

You are right. Awesome.

I received an email from a friend with a photo of an American Bald Eagle sitting on a tombstone in a military cemetery. It haunted me for weeks, like a song you hear and can not get it of your head. I wrote a story about the Eagle that I sent out by email but I was not satisfied so then I made it into a video.. I am hoping that many people get to watch this video and once they see it they will tell others. The story is fiction but once you watch my video I think you will watch again and again. If your on Facebook you can go to my profile page "Richard C Rocha" and friend me, and watch "The Eagle" or go to the link below for " YouTube". If you enjoy it and believe in the message it has please send to all in your address book.
Once you have watched it I would be surprised if you don't agree with me considering what is going on in Washington DC right now. . The sound mix for the music that plays near the end is worth listening too also.
