Today's image of the day comes from the Department of Defense. One of their photographers captured a flight of F-15C Eagles during a total solar eclipse over the island of Okinawa, Japan, July 22, 2009. The eclipse was a rare opportunity for troops to witness this unique event. The F-15C Eagles are assigned to the 44th Fighter Squadron, Kadena Air Base, Okinawa.

I've read a few of your posts and had to give my two cents on this one. Do you think it could work? In any event, keep up the good work, looking forward to the next one.

Thanks for being courageous enough to talk about this very serious problem that most of us have to confront and are afraid to speak upon.

Good post. I know this is not quite on subject, but I just wanted to add that this site theme here is pretty cool. Is there a name or something? I do not know where to look.
