Memorial Day

[Superfly]

For those of you south of the Canadian border, I was just thinking about you all observing Memorial Day today and the freedom's we all share. I thought there's no more fitting tribute to the fallen heroes than Donny Mac's car. So I'm sharing that with you again.

Although no sculptured marble should rise to their memory, nor engraved stone bear record of their deeds, yet will their remembrance be as lasting as the land they honored.

What price freedom?

Gentlemen,

The photo below was originally published in a newspaper. Taken at the funeral of a Marine killed in Iraq, a fellow Marine is telling his son, "On behalf of the President of the United States, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a symbol of our appreciation for your loved one’s service to Country and Corps."

A very powerful image.

This one is from the Rocky Mountain News "Final Salute". I'm on the road and don't have access to the best one but this one won a Pulitzer.

CBS Arlington link

A day late but forever necessary.

Here's a link to a memorial day story produced for CBS news Sunday morning some time ago...it's explains some of the rituals at Arlington (and other military funerals)....God bless them all.
