If there's one nearby, head over to a National Cemetary today, just for a minute. Look at all those rows of white stones and be happy that there are men and women in this world who have that kind of faith, and love for their countrymen. Enjoy the holiday folks.

no problem folks.
Many don't know those are all in Europe but on soveirgn American soil. I think its amazing the detail to the graves and crosses. None are the same but still done with such class. I'm sorry but things just aren't done that well anymore. |
