Best Multimedia Story

I was touched by the multimedia story Final Salute. It set a good example of how to tell a story by both pictures and words for me. I like the detail pictures in this story particularly. For example, the picture of family member caressing the dead soldier’s hands, the picture of the soldier’s mother resting her head on her husband’s shoulder as a Marine honor guard folds the flag that dropped the soldier’s casket and the picture of a 4-year-old boy peering from behind his uncle during the funeral service. The photographer took pictures from different angles and showed us pictures of a soldier’s funeral from the eyes of his friends, from the eyes of his parents and from the eyes of a young kid, all of the pictures convey emotion and power. Just like the title of one of the stories "Feel the Weight", I can feel the weight of the pictures and words.
