Decoration Day

| No Comments

This morning Delaney and I went over to Union Chapel Cemetery and put daisies on Veteran's graves.  The cemetery dates back to 1822 and has the final resting places of soldiers dating as far back as the  Revolutionary War.  It was a very solemn experience. 

Remembering every soldier who has served our country.

 

"It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the
freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag."
