I know you have left the thread now, but I just read the story of the Arlington Ladies! How wonderful and touching that story was. I was glad to learn of this great group of ladies. Thanks for that link!

Remembering our military on this Memorial Day.
Today reminds us that FReedom isn't Free as we remember
and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

We visited three cemetaries yesterday; so many flags!
What a beautiful sight.
As we were placing flowers on the graves, Marissa discovered a headstone that read WWI veteran.
She grabbed some flowers and placed them on his grave.
I almost told her she couldn't do that because we didn't know him.
Instead, I told her that was a lovely way of rememberting that he fought for our freedoms.

I'm going to read the rest of yesterday's wonderful tributes and have breakfast.
I will be back later.

Thank you for sharing your tributes.
