Memorial Day

Ibrahim and I went with my mom and my nephew Jeremiah to the cemetary to visit my dad's grave. Then we stopped at the park and ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It was the first time I've had a chance to see the cemetary on Memorial Day - the only day of the year that the flags are displayed on each of the veteran's graves. There were thousands of flags!

    Hi.. I like how they are arranged in rows, not like the mess we have here!

    Ibrahim will always remember those days, does he speak any English?
