This week's photo shows a soldier playing Taps at Fort Davis, Canal Zone . 

On this Memorial Day I would like to salute all those brave men and women that have given the ultimate sacrifice so that we can have our freedom.  Long live the memory of these great defenders of freedom.

Please visit the Military History section on the Canal Zone Images web site for more great photos of the Panama Canal Defenders.
