Thread Name: Memorial Day, A Look Back
Subject: RE: Memorial Day, A Look Back
I saw more flags (mine has been displayed on my house all weekend), I heard the 21 gun salute at the NG Armory near my house, I put a flag on my father's grave (the American Legion hadn't gotten there yet), I was driving past a small cemetary and saw the bugler ready to play taps, I watched the TV shows last night (a little disappointed at the music), and I had many conversations with family and friends...all aware of our relatives and loved ones in the services. I was planning to drive an elderly friend to visit her mother's grave in another county Sat. night, but a brief hailstorm kept us near home. The weather today was gorgeous, many people seemed to be working in their yards, planting flowers, etc.
