Veterans Day


It was Veterans' Day in the US the other day. In my family it means a visit to the cemetery to see my dad. He was a two-time veteran (WWII and Korea) and is interred at a Veterans Memorial Cemetery. It's a peaceful place next to a beautiful park so going there is nice for the whole family. After visiting the cemetery everyone usually goes to the park for a picnic lunch. Sorry to have missed it - but having the pictures is a nice reminder of home. 


Thank you Adam for sending the pictures!

    Beautiful pictures. Did Adam take these? If so, he's turning into a photographer like his mama! Sandi

    You protected our freedom then U die
    We celebrate your sacrifice and cry
    No doubt your tomb stone is an alibi

    Had a dream that you are still alive
    We hugged and give you a high five
    Saluted U with your children & wife

    When the Judgment day is at hand
    A reward is awaiting you before God
    Freedom is not free & we understand
