Memorial Day Weekend

I worked the 4 days around memorial day weekend this year. I had a nice time at work and my family kept themselves busy. I usually love going to the parade on Saturday, since I did not make it this year, I am going to go next year.

Thank you to everyone in the armed services and all the veterans. Please honor our loved ones, our ancestors, our friends who died in conflicts and wars, those people who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our freedom.

My grandfather (my father's father) is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. I really enjoy going there to visit. I thought my parents had been there before on Memorial day and had taken pictures of all the grave stones with flags in front of them. So I was trying to find a picture of that, but my mother told me they went there over the holidays and have a picture with wreaths on the grave stones. So I took this picture from Arlington's web page.
