Memorial Day
May 28, 2007Five years ago, my sister M and I spent Memorial Day in France at the World War I Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery, locating our paternal great-grandfather’s grave. We were all awestruck at the number of graves, the overwhelming feeling of respect and gratitude for the lives lost during that war. It was humbling.
My grandma never knew her father. She was only 3 when he died nor did she ever get a chance to visit his grave. Probably one of the most beautiful things I ever saw was the look on her face when we showed her the pictures we took of the cemetery and the actual grave.
God bless all those who serve, have served and those who gave everything by being inthe United States military.
