My wife and I returned to our small-town cemetery this afternoon after attended the meaningful service led by our local American Legion this morning. The picture above shows only a small part of this beautiful place. It was impressively decked out in well over 400 flags, which are erected every year for the Memorial Day weekend--each flag given by the family of a departed veteran. At the service this morning the names of the deceased who have served our country in the armed forces during wartime were read; not allowed the died in combat, but all served. I try to attend the ceremony every year. It helps me, as one who never served, to remember the personal sacrifice of so many, that we may enjoy our freedom. God bless them!
