What About Tomorrow?

Most of us have the day off work tomorrow, Memorial Day 2014. And most of us value our American democracy and those men and women won our freedom for us and those who keep us free by serving in the Armed Forces.  Question 1: what are we doing to show this appreciation?  Some us have displayed American flags on our front porches.  You don't have to go far - online or in the newspapers - to find ceremonies being held locally to honor veterans and those in the military now.  Question 2: will we go out of our way to attend one of these celebrations??

Here's a suggestion for you: GO TO A NATIONAL CEMETERY to their ceremony.  Yesterday, on my way home from Danville, I stopped in at Camp Nelson National Cemetery, on U.S. highway 27 south from Lexington, Kentucky, U.S.A. They are ready for ceremonies to begin tomorrow at 11 a.m.  Every grave has an American flag.

Flags wave in the breeze at every grave of a veteran at Camp Nelson National Cemetery, Kentucky.  5-24-14.

Feel the thrill!  Go somewhere, remember the military.  Sing "America, the Beautiful," or "God Bless America" with all your heart!
