Memorial Day


In remembrance of those who gave their lives for freedom, 
including the Civil War whose casualties exceeded all of the wars combined. 



A point of interest, all of these Civil War markers were originally wood.  
They were replaced with marble markers in 1878.

a poingant tribute; very sad ...

Remarkable places - I feel out of place making images in places like this.

I'm not sure on which side of the ledger paper confetti falls - good or bad. I have real difficulties about throwing food (ie rice) when people are staving for the want of a handful of it.

Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne

My friend went and visited his uncle, a WW2 vet buried in France. He was the first relative to visit.
