EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and poignant print captured by Stocktrek Images, we witness a moment of deep respect and remembrance. Against the backdrop of the vast ocean, two seamen stand on the deck of USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63), saluting with unwavering pride. Their hats firmly in place, they pay tribute to the final resting place of USS Lexington (CV-2) as it rests beneath the waves. The significance of this salute is not lost on these sailors or anyone who gazes upon this color image. It serves as a recognition of sacrifice and bravery exhibited during one of history's most pivotal battles - the Battle of Coral Sea on May 8,1942. As USS Kitty Hawk passes over the spot where USS Lexington sunk all those years ago, these seamen honor their fallen comrades who fought valiantly for freedom. This vertical composition captures more than just a gesture; it encapsulates memories and evokes emotions tied to patriotism and naval heritage. The railing acts as a physical connection between past and present, symbolizing continuity in honoring those who came before us. As we observe these brave men standing tall with hand salutes held high, we are reminded that their service goes beyond duty; it is an embodiment of honor and dedication to country. This photograph invites us to reflect on our own gratitude for those who have served in our armed forces throughout history – reminding us never to forget their sacrifices nor take our freedoms for granted.
