Thank you to those who fought for this great country. Those here at Arlington.
So very many. The stones seem endless when standing there.
So many to remember . Remember we must. So many gave their all ,represented by these stars on the WWII monument.
The Korean War Memorial. Thank you to all who served and are serving the U.S.A. Blessings .XO
A beautiful tribute to our fallen heroes.

Thank you Jo, I hope we all showed our love and gratitude. xoxo, Susie
DeleteSuch a lovely post. I hope we always remember our fallen heroes. My stepfather's on the WWII memorial and his cousin in Arlington.
ReplyDeleteKathy, When we went to the WWII memorial, there was a place where you could look up where your love one died and was buried. Ted was named after his uncle who was killed at 19 in Italy. This was an interesting memorial. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, really good pictures. Thank you for the Korean pic in the daytime. Mine was hard to see from at night.
ReplyDeleteNonnie, When Ted and I went to D.C. we saw all the memorials. Some at dark. MY camera was really acting up them...so I lost many photos. I was amazed at the Korean memorial..the faces looks so real. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh Yes! Oh Yes!
ReplyDeleteWe need to Remember and Thank.
Especially when our present government, doesn't give a damn. Look at how Veterans are taken care of... Look at how our military is at such a low. Look at his "Apology Tour"!
I'm just a Citizen. But... I Remember. I Thank.

ReplyDeleteBoston Boy, There's always a Vietnam Vets,. get together in Kokomo in September. I saw the traveling wall in Kokomo once. Then when I went to D.C. I saw the real wall. It's sad....because you see all the names. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

DeleteSusie, I hope you had a nice Memorial Day. You know, my brother-in-law was in the Vietnam war, and his mother couldn't sleep until he returned home safe.
ReplyDeleteI think they had a ceremony at our cemetery also.

Sheri, I had two brother in Vietnam , one in Laos and one in Germany. We were so thankful they all made it home safe. It's nice to celebrate our heroes and our service people. Blessings, xoxo, love, Susie
DeleteThe photos really make an impression. You think of all the loved ones who are missing their family member. My mom's dad was killed in WWII, leaving her an orphan at age 13.
ReplyDeleteMildred, I know my real father was in the army when it was WWII times..but I do not know where he went or was stationed. He lived to be 88 years old. Sad that your grandfather died so young, and your mom no longer had her father. When I saw Arlington cemetery, I truly had no idea just how many were buried there. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
