Happy Memorial Day


Since Tom needed to work on Monday we commemorated Memorial Day on Sunday.


The Highland Park Cemetery near our house has several veteran sections. Each year they place a small flag at each veteran’s tombstone. It’s a stirring sight, and I’ve always wanted to visit. This year we did. We walked along the rows and rows of graves noting the birth and death dates, the wars fought in, and their station in the armed forces. We contemplated the meaning of patriotism, the freedoms we enjoy, and our duty to our country. Next year we hope to bring along a shovel to clear off some of the tombstones, maybe even plant a flower or two!
