Today I visited my fathers grave, which is in a Veteran's Cemetery.
The cemetery looked almost exactly like the one pictured above, with flat stones and a small flag at each one. When you looked over the vast green fields, all you could see were flags and it was a breathtaking site. Each flag marked the resting place of a hero.
In between the celebrations of the start of summer and the barbeques, it is good to take a minute and remember the reason for this holiday...and to say a silent "thank you".
Hope everyone has a happy and safe Memorial Day.
