If they could, they would all thank you for remembering. You did what all real Americans did today.

You were saying ...

I went down to the cemetery today, and at the one where some of our family is at (also some veterans, too), there were probably over a thousand US flags placed all over the cemetery (and I'm talking about the big ones on flag poles, placed all over the cemetery), and there were flowers on just about every grave around and it was packed with people. They've got a military section there, too (it's Floral Haven, between Tulsa and Broken Arrow) and it's a fairly large one.

I passed by other cemeteries and I didn't see another one that was so decorated up like this one today, and having so many people there, today. It was amazing.

A few years back, I went to the National Cemetery on Memorial Day, in Dallas, with my dad, just before he died (a few months later). That had a lot of people there, too, on Memorial Day.
