Synopsis

A multiple award-winning book, a tribute to veterans and their families, through eloquent, sensitive poetry and stunning photographs of our nation’s military memorials, monuments and cemeteries.

“A powerful and meaningful marriage of images and words that tell the important and often misunderstood emotional histories of our veterans.” Ricardo Blanco, 2013 Presidential Inaugural Poet.

The poems and quotations are from some of the most acclaimed war poets of all-time as well as contemporary poets who wrote poems for specific images. Each is combined in this coffee table book with a photograph of one of America’s great symbolic tributes to veterans including Arlington Cemetery, the Marine Corps War Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the World War II Memorial, the Korean War Memorial and many others. The book includes three, fold-out panorama images.

“Each image is a work of art in itself. The photographs are magnificent, varied and symbolic. The poetry between the images has a very human quality. Each phrase is powerful and full of meaning.” Diana Lopez, Readers’ Favorite Book Review.

“These pages are vivid memorials to those we loved … and lost.” Brigadier General William Webb, U.S. Air Force pilot (retired) and graduate of the U.S. Military Academy.

Photographer Roger Raepple’s images have appeared in national and regional exhibitions and in photography magazines to include Outdoor Photographer, Shutterbug, B+W Photography (UK), LensWork, Outdoor Photography (UK) and Black & White Photography.

“This work is outstanding. This is fabulous, a wonderful tribute to those who have pretty much given up everything for this country.” Ted Forbes, The Art of Photography.

“Remember … is a vivid collection of photography and verse honoring those who paid the ultimate price.” Bill McCloud, Vietnam Veterans of America Book Review.
