Preserving National Memory


On a late morning, on July 25, 2012, while visiting family, we found ourselves in Arlington National Cemetery, paying respect to the brave souls who gave their lives for our American republic.

As we walked these sacred grounds among seemingly endless grave markers, we came across the ceremony of a solder being laid to rest with full honors.

Memorial Day is about remembrance -- the price of freedom. We may not be a perfect country, but it beats the alternatives.
