Just figured it was a picture worth posting and to say thank you and a moment of silence for the many who have served with the ultimate sacrifice and to those others also who have spent the few or many years of their lives protecting the freedom we all sometimes take for granted. My time in the Navy was in peace time but others have seen the combat and the horrer of war close and personal .  ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light.

It's a humbling picture,especially when you know there's a LOT more white crosses in that you can't see.
Maybe ALL schools should have trips to local military cemetaries to show the them who paid the ultimate cost for their freedom. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Far too many people think of Memorial Day just as a holiday to cook out, go to the lake or beach, etc. We all need to pause and remember the sacrifice of those who served and their families also. Freedom definitely is not free.
