Memorial Day

My very patriotic husband started getting me in the spirit a few days ago.  He was watching some of the ceremonies for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on the internet ... very cool!  Check it out sometime if you get a chance.  So in honor of our country's recognition of the men and women who have died in service to our nation, we went out in search of some memorial sites.  I would love to have gone to a giant national cemetery like Arlington this weekend, but sometimes with three kids in the back of the van we can only stretch their patience so far.  We made it to a little cemetery close by our home that had posted flags at all the veteran's burial sites.  A ways further down the highway we found a confederate monument in a little town called Monroe.  Although, is a confederate monument somehow controversial on Memorial Day?  Just a thought.  Happy Memorial Day!
