As I was taking this picture you couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss and appreciation for the sacrifice these brave men and women gave for our country, our way of life and our freedom. Each grave from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to the simple white granite markers, holds a brave soul which should be distinctly recognized. I thought about writing more about my thoughts on Memorial Day, but in my readings found two short quotes which summed it all up for me. I just didn’t feel I could improve on what these two persons had to say. “As the flowers rest on the decorated graves and the sunlight shines on the beautiful sailboats, Uncle Sam whispers in my ear about how we should care for the soldiers and remember the ones that have died. Swimming pools open, BBQs fry. Today is the day to think of what they have done for us. There are blurs of red, white and blue marching down the street and flags are lowered at half-mast. But we should always remember and never forget what set us free, from this very day on.” -Ali M., 3rd grader “We are descendants of a common creed — one nation, under God. Partners with a common purpose; to keep our nation free and strong; a force for peace and progress; a place where people who work hard and take responsibility have the chance to make the most of their own lives, build good, strong families, and live out their dreams in dignity and peace. May God bless the souls of our departed and always bless the country they gave everything to serve.” -President Bill Clinton As I was taking this picture you couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss and appreciation for the sacrifice these brave men and women gave for our country, our way of life and our freedom.
