A time to honor and mourn those who have fallen in defense of our great nation.


And also to feel the full tragedy of Steve Rogers; to outlive all his allies, friends, loved ones, and even his own war.
Not just a symbol of America and its values, but a way to remember the glorious, harrowing, essential past.

These images are by artist Dan Hipp, whose tumblr is truly beautiful, and who I found via Comics Alliance. There's a funny one after the jump that is non-Memorial Day related, but you should really check out his tumblr.

God bless.



For those of us who felt (and completely understood, this is not criticism Joss) that some more mention/sighting of Steve and Thor's lady loves was missing from The Avengers.
