Jan, will be doing many activities you describe here. Have many family members who have served our country via the military and have great respect for their sacrifices! Hope you are well and look forward to when we can talk next and catch up on life.

The young ones in the family are so fortunate to see the adults gather this way! What a beautiful tradition.

Indeed! The young ones have grown up with this. Now, to have a 30 yo nephew come for the weekend with his wife and 2-month-old makes us all so happy. Of course, we miss Mom, who would tell us stories about all the folks where we lay flowers. Year after year and yet none of us can remember the details as well as she told them but together we piece them together. This continuity of generations in the same place is a beautiful thing to me, and a treasure.
