... Never forget! Amen
Thank you, Marley for the reminder . . . if only the fighting would stop.
I didn't realize Veteran's Day is an international holiday OR celebrated everywhere on the same exact day. Ignorance on my part, of course.
Great photo choice for the event.
This is a wonderful post!
great shot for this day
Excellent choice for this day! Striking red, moving list of names. I found out last summer at the Rye, NY cemetery that my husband's grandfather was a WWI vet. He died very young later from a work accident, so we don't know much about him.
