Nice post, MB. It's important to remember those who've gone before us or who've paid the ultimate sacrifice for or freedom.

MB, A perfect image and tribute. Every member of my family, except for myself, served in the armed forces. One of the most touching memorials I've ever witnessed was the honor guard rifle salute and flag ceremony at my father's graveside service. From a Quaker (a peace church) family background he was a CO and served as an army medic in WWII. He was awarded a purple heart and he rescued and tended the wounded on the front in France and Germany, stayed with dying men, comforting them through their own last moments. . .and never spoke of it. I only learned of it through interviewing his brother-in-law and other medics from his unit after he had passed away. That flag the honor guard folded and handed us still speaks volumes. Thanks for your touching photo.
