PhotoHunt: MEMORIAL
(Libingan ng mga Bayani)
Here rests in honored glory a comrade in arms known but to God.
I took this photo several years back when I visited the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial also known as the "Libingan ng mga Bayani".
Please visit PhotoHunt's HQ to see more interesting MEMORIAL!
I wish you all a great weekend!

A beautiful take on the theme. It is a tragedy that the person buried there is only known to God.
so sad there are so many nameless tombs.
excellent pic.
Muah.
Lovely photo and thoughts. Thank you. Excellent take on this weeks theme and and thanks for dropping by my blog and I hope I see you again soon.
what a great memorial to honour the departed souls.
Very fitting for the theme—and a great pic.
So beautiful. And your thoughts are very special too. Thanks and have a wonderful weekend.

A very beautiful photograph for the theme Memorial.
What a beautiful photo! I love the perspective, and the subject was perfect for this week's theme. I wonder if any PhotoHunters got a photo of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Thanks for visiting my site!
i love this photo. excellent shot.
btw, the Manila American Cemetery is different from the Libingan ng mga Bayani. they're in separate locations, too, but both are in Fort Bonifacio.:p
Beautiful marble cross and excellent photo.
My photohunt post is up
Beautiful entry. Very sad to think there are many tombs like that...
Enjoy your weekend ♥
good choice for the theme! thanks for the visit. :)
That's a poignant memorial and great shot. Happy Weekend.
That is very touching! I think days like our Memorial Day give us all a "kindred" feeling. We are all part of Mankind, right?
Sad isn't it? Great photo though.
Luna, thanks! I went there years ago and was basing everything on my photo labels...LOL Now I know...and btw, I'm from Cebu...so there! :P
Beautiful photograph....very moving. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
It's a lovely photo. I've been to the Libingan ng mga Bayani a few times.
Beautiful yet sombre image, perfect for today... thanks for sharing
What a lovely picture! We have a tomb for unknown soldiers at our national cemetery - one crypt for each war. So far, there are four crypts, but the one for the Vietnam War is empty as the remains were identified and removed for burial "back home". It will remain empty. I'm sure at some point there will be one added for the Iraq War, but may remain empty - identification technology is so good now that I don't know if there will ever be another "Unknown Soldier."
What a moving tribute, both the sculpture and the inscription, to the fallen heroes of war. It is good to know that soldiers of all nationalities are remembered in so many different countries.
Hope your summer is going well Mariposa and that you and IT Guy are traveling and having fun.
Absolutely beautiful. thanks.
Nice one. I haven't been here yet. Have a great week.
Thanks so much for sharing this Mariposa! I love the photo. Hope you have a good rest of the week!
