JeffIsHereToo Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Some very poignant pictures from this past weekend: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/05/m...l_day_2009.html Memorial Day, 2009 Today is observed as Memorial Day in the United States, a day for remembering the men and women of our armed services who died while at war. Memorial Day weekend has also become the unofficial kickoff to Summer, complete with backyard barbecues, parades and family getaways. Collected here are a handful of photographs for remembrance, acknowledging some of the men and women who have passed in conflicts from the U.S. Civil War through Iraq and Afghanistan today.

Boss Doctor Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yesterday, I wondered how many people were too wrapped-up in their BBQ's and day at the lake to remember why they had the day off to begin with. Thanks to all who serve, but a special thanks to those that made the ultimate sacrifice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportscars Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Here in San Antonio the Boy Scouts place flags on the 121,000 graves at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery on the Friday before Memorial Day. It is a great honor to be able to do this with my son for the past 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
