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.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- ARLVC_211225_59.JPG: More than 400 recipients of the Medal of Honor -- the nation's highest medal for bravery -- are buried at Arlington National Cemetery. From left, these are the Medals of Honor presented by the US Navy, the US Army, and the US Air Force. Recipients from the US Marine Corps receive the US Navy Medal of Honor. Since 1963, the US Coast Guard has been authorized its own Medal of Honor, but to date one has not been awarded. The Medal of Honor is the only military medal worn around the neck and its recipients are entitled to be saluted by the president of of the United States.
Established during the Civil War, the Medal of Honor was the first official recognition of bravery granted by the United States. After the Civil War, other medals for bravery were established. The Medal of Honor became the premier medal, reserved for the most extraordinary deeds of heroism. Since World War II, about 60 percent of recipients have been killed in action.

- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
