Memorial Day

Posted on 9:20 PM by paritory

On Memorial Day we attended a lovely service at the Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno. It was a pretty chilly day and entertaining our kids during multiple musical numbers and speeches was a little bit tricky, but seeing Evie wave the American flag and watching T pay respects to men and women who fight for our country was touching. As I saw people--old and young--in uniform and as I saw parents--old and young--who had lost children in war I felt so much respect and love and gratitude to them. This is what Memorial Day is all about and I love this new tradition of ours. 

 

A group provided free donuts and hot chocolate--hello, the boys were thrilled!  

Our little family on Memorial Day.
Dear Talmage, What are you doing in that picture? And why? Love Mom 

James was excited to find Admiral Nimitzes grave. He thought Great Papa might especially like to see this!
