As I posted the pictures I added the poem to some of them and found I was deeply moved, actually to tears. Really was a beautiful poem about a beautiful thing done.
American history is just about impossible to study without being moved to tears.
The Star Spangled Banner: moves me to tears.
America The Beautiful: moves me to tears.
Remembering the sacrifices of our ancestors and the conflicts they overcame: moves me to tears.
To this day, remember watching a historical movies as a child in early teen years. When the film ended, crying like a baby and unable to speak, unable to answer parents question as to why the tears could not cease.
