This is SOOC but I wanted to share. He graduated from boot camp last week at Great Lakes. Linda, we didn't get to see too much but that's ok. Only made it to the Navy Pier for about an hour. I hope you guys let me ramble a little. I am so proud of him, already said that I guess. My sister and I lost it a few times when we were there. He had people coming up to him and thanking him for his service to his country. Actually I'm crying as I'm typing. He seemed so different....grown up, responsible, mature. The graduation ceremony was pretty impressive. His division was a Hall of Famer, doesn't happen too often. He said it was the first time in 3yrs on the base and 17 yrs for his ship, keep in mind 11 divisions graduate every week! Enough I guess.
What I really want to do is somehow superimpose this image on a flag image, you know maybe one that's blowing in the wind. Do I go to one of those stock image sites and purchase one there? Tried to do that once but couldn't figure it out. Technically challenged you know. Thanks for listening. Oh and I want to make his eyes a little more blue.

Brenda, you have every reason to be proud. Outstanding young man. In the subscriber area there is a tutorial on how to superimpose an image onto another and quite a few folks here on the forum has posted their pictures in the past. If you need help w/it please just let us know.

Hi Brenda,

I know EXACTLY how you're feeling. I have also attended a graduation at Great Lakes for a nephew. It's amazing how they change!

Enjoy the euphoria :) Looking forward to seeing your composite with the flag.

P.S. If you still need flag photos you might check out www.morguefile.com (http://www.morguefile.com). I found some nice ones for free there.
