This is a picture of Staff Sergeant Tim Chambers. Staff Sgt. Chambers wears his blues during the annual memorial day “Rolling Thunder” ride to the wall in Washington DC. The ride is done to bring attention to the POW/MIA cause along with veterans benefits. I covered the event while I was in public affairs school. Staff Sgt. Chambers salutes every motorcycle that rides to the wall… This can take four hours or more. He only drops his salute to drink water provided by random spectators. I have seen this in person and it is an emotional thing to witness.

President Barack Obama criticises Republican silence on booing of gay soldier. (x)

This is the reason I fucking love Barack Obama. He’s a real man. Not a man who is motivated by power or money, but a man who works for the true betterment of America.
