This is a test -- this is only a test!



.

The background: One of my cruise photos was a close-up of several grave markers at the Luxembourg American Cemetery...Battle of the Bulge, World War II. That shot [below] shows a Star-of-David marker on the left and a Christian cross on the front-right. Other crosses are in the background...the one nearly centered reflects the remains of an unknown soldier and the inscription reads:
HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY
A COMRADE IN ARMS
KNOWN BUT TO GOD

I found this particularly moving at the time and would like to pass along that sense of awe/patriotism/whatever if I can share that image. But that inscription is too indistinct in the basic photo to read it.

The test: When I click on the photo, it enlarges somewhat. When I click on that enlargement, it gets even bigger still. (And my Dell's Windows 7 lets me keep honing in on that inscription, using a Zoom function.) Will you try to do that on your computer on the image below? Can you zoom in on the words for the unknown soldier and make them legible?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
