For the fallen
Memorial Day
My walk today took me to a well-maintained country graveyard deep in the woods—it's surrounded by a nature preserve—and about a half-mile from the nearest rural road. It's a quiet, beautiful spot, and some of the ancient graves, their headstones eroded and no longer readable, were decorated with fresh U.S. flags, a sign that the resident of the plot was once a soldier, perhaps someone who had made the ultimate sacrifice and given his life for his country. On this Memorial Day, I paused to remember and salute.
