These days it's too easy to forget that Memorial Day is far more than just a three day weekend to kick off summer and begin the backyard BBQ season.

Memorial Day is intended to honor the men and women who serve this country in the Armed Forces, and especially those who gave their life.

Hopefully everyone will consider that over the weekend. If you get some photos that fit well with that theme, this topic is a good place to post them. I'd like to use some for the "Photo of the Day" feature this weekend.
 
Thank you for the reminder. You are right, it is much more than picnics, camping and trips to the beach.
 
My impressions from my visit to Willamette National Cemetery.

Over 140,000 flags placed by over 1,000 Boy Scouts.

And let us not forget those that serve those who have served and gone before us.

Nor those left behind.

Janice, we have several women (military widows) in my unit going there Monday. I heard they have a wonderful turn out each Memorial Day. Will you be there?

Yes they have a wonderful turnout on Memorial day and a beautiful ceremony. Every year the Air Nat Guard do a fly by. I hope they do again this year.

No, I won't be there. I paid my respects today.
