Here are just a few: (link below pics)


The Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (1968)


Into The Jaws of Death (1944)

U.S. Army’s 1st Infantry Division soldiers disembarking from a LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel) at Omaha Beach during the Normandy Landings of D-Day.



Neil Armstrong with tears in his eyes (1969)

A photo of Neil Armstrong taken only moments after he returned from first walking on the moon. A teary-eyed Armstrong looks at the camera, rendered speechless by what he has just experienced. It’s a beautiful portrait taken by Buzz Aldrin after they returned to the Lunar Excursion Module, and beautifully captures the emotions he later put into words when he said, “It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.”


Sunset on Mars (2005)



The 10th Anniversary (2011)

Robert Peraza, who lost his son Robert David Peraza, pauses at his son’s name at the North Pool of the 9/11 Memorial during tenth anniversary ceremonies at the site of the World Trade Center in New York, Sept. 11, 2011.


ENTIRE ALBUM

This incident really snowballed opposition to the Vietnam war and the police state of the US at the time. So iconic.

I pass by first picture all the time. It's as if it's frozen in time. Even the two cars in the picture (or maybe they're replicas) are still there.

I would put this one of Jordan over the one they have. Plus they used the wrong angle of the one they did use.

Right in the feels.
