Images 16: Sweet Sixteen

Oh, I get it.  The ones that are holidays honor former soldiers, while you still have to go to work on the one honoring active duty.  This seems about right for our Congress, which thinks the best way to honor the troops is to build more monuments, not give out pay raises.

Can personally attest to this.  The Vasa Museum in Stockholm has the bodies on display alongside the ship.  And honestly, I felt as weird as when I looked at a mummy elsewhere, which is a sense of vaguely dishonoring the person.  The ship, however, is a must-see.  Everything is excellently preserved, except sadly the paint.
