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.

6. KWAR_030727_127.JPG: John Alli. He did the photograph for the new Korean War stamp. As an article on the CBS news site ( http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/07/25/national/main565114.shtml ) says: At first glance, the new Korean War Veterans Memorial stamp appears to show soldiers trudging through the snow, but it's really a photo of the statues at the Korean War Veterans Memorial on the Mall in Washington. The 19 stainless-steel statues depict servicemen in the Army, the Marines, the Navy and the Air Force. Shown marching in a wedge formation as if on patrol, the statues also represent an ethnic cross-section of the United States. The memorial was dedicated eight years ago. For airline pilot and Gulf War veteran John Alli, taking the photograph was a case of honoring his father upon his retirement from 40 years of government service, including time serving in Korea. "I took the photo to give something meaningful for my father," he told CBSNews.com's Lloyd de Vries. Alli, who now flies for United Express rather than the Marine Corps, went to extraordinary lengths to photograph the Memorial, getting up in the middle of the night to drive from his home in suburban Baltimore to the Capital in a heavy snowstorm. The weather was important, Alli said. "In nice bright light it just...they look like statues," he said. But a quick look at the photograph may fool the eye into thinking it's a photograph of actual soldiers. In fact, Alli calls the picture "Real Life." "I think it does represent the Korean War and that bitter cold," he said. "I waited until the weather was the worst, because I knew it would remind him of the Korean War. He always talked about how cold it was." The Marine Reserve pilot's friends suggested he enter the photo in a naval magazine's contest "and I won first prize" It appeared on the cover of Naval Institute Proceedings, and from there it came to the attention of the Postal Service, which based the stamp's design on it. The stamp will be launched Sunday during the Defense Department's ceremony commemorating the Korean War armistice 50 years ago. It should be in local post offices on Monday. The Korean War began on June 25, 1950, when communist troops from North Korea invaded South Korea. U.S. troops were sent to lead the United Nations force defending South Korea. By the end of the action, 34,000 Americans had died in combat, 37,000 from all causes, and 103,000 had been wounded. In 1985, the Postal Service issued the 22-cent Veterans Korea stamp. The Korean War, a 33-cent stamp, was issued in 1999 as part of the 1950s "Celebrate The Century" stamp pane. By Lloyd A. de Vries �MMIII CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.
