traditions....

SO every year on memorial day, my grandma puts flowers on her husbands grave.  my grandfather was in the service and died while working for the national parks.  in my formative years, memorial day weekend was usually spent with my grandma and thus was spent at the cemetery.  i miss my grandma dearly and i hope to get back on a memorial day weekend to spend with her. 

as you can see, the last time i went with her was quite some time ago.  

i thank all the service men, both past and present who give all of their souls to protect our country.  because of them, we are still as free as can be.  (yes, i know that rhymes.)
