You need to fix a < / i > in there somewhere.

Re: OP mountain_hiker February 27 2012, 19:38:21 UTC

I can't find it! :O

What are you seeing? I moved the location of it to be after the photo, so maybe that will fix it...?

Oh, that's usually the way I post stuff. Should I change it?

Same here. I'd seen someone referring to the photo on Twitter but hadn't seen the actual pic until now. It's awesome. :)

Same here. This is such a romantic, lovely, and happy moment that was captured on 'film' (er... that would be digital these days, wouldn't it? ;).

Me too - and I'm really, really not a crier. It's just so many kinds of adorable and sweet, with a whopping great dose of 'finally'. I've teared up and my insides feel all gooey.

And it's such a *glomp!* kiss, too. *gooey*

I was reading this from NPR's facebook post and I cannot stand the comments like, "Well I don't like looking at it, but I'm glad they're serving our country." It's like they're so scared someone will think they're gay that approve of something like this they have to start off with how much homosexuality grosses them out.

the one that pissed me off the most was the "think of the children!" one. And of course, that even if it were a straight couple they wouldn't want the kids to see either. Right. I'm sure the person was clutching his/her pearls with every photo of a reunited hetero couple kissing that you see all the damn time.

This is just so sweet! I'm glad he came home safe & was able to share a tender moment with his partner!
