It’s Memorial Day in the USA. A day where we honor those who sacrificed their lives for their country. It’s also a day were we honor all of our passed on relatives, forefathers, and friends. The cemeteries are very busy with people bringing flowers and sprucing up the grave sites. It’s a great day for remembering.
I am not aware of any family members who actually died in combat but I have plenty of relatives who served their country. My brother and brother-in-law both. (We have to remember that family members of servicemen and women also served as they suffer hardships when their families are deployed.) A niece’s husband is in the armed forces now. My father, at least two uncles, and many others also served.
It’s a great day to honor these men and women.
Setting a day aside ensures we don’t forget.
A beautiful tribute to Memorial Day. We also have had many family members serving, and friends.
a great day to honor thos who gave their lives for our country and to thank all who served
We should stop and remember more often.
Hope you had a great holiday weekend!

So brave. It is hard to imagine, but I try to.
The field of flags displays have become popular. I saw several this year. Love the reflections in your first photo!
Lest we forget, a really important day.
