Today we honor those men and women who’ve sacrificed their lives for America.

On Memorial Day, a U.S. flag is placed on each grave at Arlington National Cemetery in remembrance. Dad and Mom are buried there as well as my husband’s father. Flags also grace their graves.
I also honor and thank those women and men currently serving the U.S. military and their families who worry about them.
This is a day of respect.

Indeed June, a day to respect and to be thankful for our freedom.
beautiful, thank you.
A somber reminder of all who gave so much so we might enjoy our freedoms. I just watched the ceremony at Arlington National Cemetary on the news....how very moving.
I like that your country offers days like this for those who have sacrificed for your safety and freedom. Enjoy the day, and the meaning behind it.
Beautiful memorial June. Thank you for the sweet reminder of all those brave souls who've fought for us.
