Memorial Day

This is a photo I took at our National Cemetery near Washington D.C. several years ago. I've shared it before and sharing it again. In this photo you only see a small number of the many headstones there of our fallen heroes.  There are so many more and more in other cemeteries across our country and in foreign countries. So very many. Today is Memorial Day, the day set aside in our country to honor and remember those who have given their lives for our country and for our freedoms.  Today is a day that many celebrate with swimming, bar-b-ques, picnics, watching movies, the end of school etc.  But please never forget that today is the day to honor those who gave their life serving.  I'm  thankful for all veterans that have served and are serving but today I'm humbled and thankful for those who not only served but gave their life while serving.

Happy Memorial Day,

Sandy
