An acquaintence of mine has an interesting hobby. He believes every veteran should have a US flag at their gravestone or footmarker in local cemeteries. He buys the flags and walks the cemeteries, planting flags when he finds a veteran. He likes to find cemeteries out in the country, or often overlooked cemeteries that time has passed by.
The veterans groups are aging and can’t get out to place flags like they used. In our town, the local Scouts go out and place the flags prior to Memorial Day.
When you look over a cemetery and see the flags, you realize how many have served this country.
And you are reminded why their sacrifice and energy of youth expended for this wonderful country must never be forgotten.
And that memory serves to spur us on for the good America and its citizens.
Kathy, thanks for posting this for our good FRiend Redrock.
May you both have a blessed Memorial Day.
God bless your acquaintence for making a point of seeking out our veterans.
Freedom is NOT free. We must never forget.
