Yesterday We....

 

Took our boys and visited our local National Cemetery. The nation wide campaign for the wreath laying was done. And it was beautiful. We have a good friend buried here, and the dad of another friend is as well. When the time comes even my parents will be laid to rest here.

 

Except for a few workers, we were the only ones there.. Standing on this sacred ground it was quiet, and very serene. A person can experience lots of different emotions. All these good Americans that loved their country and fought to preserve its freedom. On the front of the head stone was the service member, and on the back was his or her spouse that had deceased.

 

As I stood there reading some of the stones, I remember the recent post by Sandy At Oklahoma Transient.. She posted the poem by LCDR Jeff Giles. If you get a chance go over and read it. But make sure you have a box of Kleenex.
