CNN commentator Scott Jennings shared one photo captured on Memorial Day that truly showed the “heaviness of the sacrifice” our fallen soldiers make for us to live in a free country.
In the post on Monday on X, Scott shared a graveside picture of the family of fallen Marine Sgt. Christopher James Jacobs was taken at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia on May 25, 2015.
The photo showed Jacobs’ widow, Brittany Jacobs, sitting by her late husband’s grave while wiping tears from her cheeks. Standing next to his father’s headstone was their son, Christian Jacobs, who wore Marine dress blues as he placed his little hand and cheek on the final resting place of his father.
If the heaviness of the sacrifice was ever captured in a photo, it’s this one.
