    OK – so forget the political angle on the original posting, and just concentrate on the human aspect in the photo. Whether it’s father/son, long lost friends, not-quite lovers, or rescued dog from the pound. Nothing says “I care – really”, like a great big hug.

    • I see no “political angle” but glad you liked it.

      • No offence meant. I was just referring to the “silent gratitude” which is more a nationalistic thing than the more personal father/son “glad you’re back” thing.

      • No offense taken. I would think the father shown here is personally and silently grateful for this reunion with his son…..and thanks for stopping by.
