See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. The High (Print) links are mostly for downloading and printing (they can be used to do reasonable-quality prints up to about 8x10). [Click here for additional help]

  National Native American Veterans Memorial This memorial recognizes American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian men and women who have served in every branch of the United States Armed Forces, from the Revolutionary War to the present day, and the support and sacrifices of their families. The memorial's symbols represent concepts important to many Native cultures: the cardinal directions; the elements of water, fire, earth, and air; and the circle. The fountain at the center evokes a drum. On it rests an upright ring—an opening to the sky and the spiritual world. Four lances provide places where visitors can tie prayer cloths. Commissioned by the United States Congress, the memorial was designed by Harvey Pratt (Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes), a Marine Corps Vietnam veteran and Butzer Architects and Urbanism. It was built through generous support of individuals, corporations and foundations, and Native nations. All offerings will be viewed as temporary and removed from the site in an appropriate and respectful manner.
