We spent Saturday morning at the local Veteran's Cemetery, planting flags on many of the 35,000 soldiers' graves there along with scout troops from all over this area. It was really something to see so many identical stones and flags, representing just a fraction of the brave men and women who have given their lives in service to our country. I hope that this Memorial Day everyone will take a moment or two to remember... this is not just a day for cooking out, or a day for general cemetery decorations, but a special day to pause and remember our fallen heroes.
