Memorial Day 2013
Very impressive as a silhouette in the late evening light!
My son took this shot 5 years ago but I reblogged it for Memorial Day. Thanks Peter
We are in Charlotte with Joe and Ann and their children. We all went to the Coca Coala 600. The entire race was dedicated to our service men and women. So brave. Each car in the race had the name of a fallen hero on the windshield. A bugler played taps and that brought a chill and a tear. There was a true sense of southern patriotism.There were a number of Marines and we thought about Mark. I am still thinkig about all of it at this late hour.
My dad served in WWII, my brother in Vietnam. Both survived the wars, but today I think of those who fought for this country and weren’t so lucky.
Touching!
