Memorial Day

May 25, 2015

  It is Memorial Day and I stand in the midst of row upon row of round white grave markers, small American flags stuck into the ground stand waving in the gentle breeze before each one.  Names and dates carved into cool marbled stones catch my attention as the resonance of a 21 gun salute and Taps fades into the quiet of the crowd standing to honor those we have come to remember.  The sacrifice of their very lives given in the struggle for freedom through the years- We are most richly blessed.
