Pictures of the Week: Nov.11-17

This week's photo of New York's annual Veterans Day parade along Fifth Avenue stood out because of its timeless quality. I was struck by the red, white and blue of the American flag that provides the only real color to this image. I was struck by the way it made the soldier stand out. 
 
It's a classic image. It is an image that could have just as easily come out of the 1940's as today. The solemn soldier, our proud flag, a parade.
 
It captures the essence of Veterans Day, and its simplicity serves to honor those who serve in order to protect our country.
 
Check out all of this week's pictures, and cast your vote for the best photo: Pictures of the Week.
