Memorial Day in America

Today we remember the soldiers and sailors who died for our country.
I see this Memorial Tower in the distance from my window every day. I rode to the top of Fox Hill. Today the flags were wet and not waving in the wind.


Next I rode to see my kid and his Mom at their local parade. In the cemetery were decorated graves of Veterans that made it home.

A Revolutionary Officer.


Civil War



The largest memorial is for Nathan Hale. Local patriot and spy who died at the end of a British rope in 1776.


The parade was a warm slice of small town pie.








Then a cookout with the crew. I got to enjoy the freedom the others died for.
