Shot this one day while on a little drive. This is the statues in front of the monument wall. The plaque in front read as follows:
"The statues face east, because Korea is in the Far East, and in memory of all who lost their lives and are still missing in action.
They came from different walks of life to help defend freedom in a country that was unknown to many.
A Nurse leads the group, because without the dedication, compassion, and bravery of the medics, many would have not have
returned.
Next are Army and Marine Infantrymen, because the infantry bears the brunt of the battle. Then comes the Air Force Pilot and
a Sailor, without whose support, the battle would have have been lost. There are no weapons in this memorial. This is to
confirm the veteran's wish for peace. All five figures are touching, symbolizing the brotherhood that comes from battle. They
stand in memory of all veterans who served our state."

Greetings!,
Just bought my first Pentax! A K-5 iis and I love it! Now I am just gonna need some advice since this is my first Pentax, although I wish I had gotten one many many many years ago!!!
I am not gonna go crazy on accessories......yet. I have the standard 18-55mm lens and am in search of a good long distance zoom. I was thinking about the HD PENTAX DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED WR.. I shoot mostly street and static objects. No studio and I will be doing very minimal post processing... guess i would be more of a "Tactical shooter" if you will.. Lots of motorcycle events and and whatnot....
Thank you all!
