Memorial Day - Nat. Cemetery

[usranger74]

On Memorial Day it has been a tradition of mine to visit a cemetery where Veterans are buried. Today I got up before the heat and visited the National Cemetery in Raleigh, NC. It was a nice day to pay respects and to walk among the graves and to think of loved ones and friends who have served the USA. I noted that some of the Civil War vets resting there were killed in early April 1865 – days before the war ended. There was also a section for those buried at sea thus recognizing their sacrifice for our freedom.

I hope our Nation never forgets freedom is not free.
