This flag struck me, at this polarized time, as a sad but fitting symbol of our country.

I wish it were not so, but I have to agree with you.

Thanks Alan.
Seems even more true now than last fall when I took it.
I was driving by, saw it, had to stop.

In the US this is Memorial weekend - a time to remember the sacrifices men and women have made so our flag remains flying over a free land. Other countries have similar celebrations. Because we are a diverse, international group, post your flags, post your remembrance day observances where you are. Here's one to get the challenge started. I believe I have posted this before.

Have seen this memorial many times, your image is different. Nicely composed and captures both grief, remembrance and hope.

Thank you for your kind words. I too have visited the memorial many times and I’m always humbled by the thousands of names carved in black stone. BTW I served in the Navy during the Vietnam War not far from you in Brunswick.

Hey - we're neighbors! Are you in the Brunswick camera club? I hear it is an excellent club.

Sorry, I was in Brunswick for two years back in the late 60’s. I live in the St. Louis, MO area now. I envy you for living in such a beautiful state. I remember seeing photo ops around every turn while living there.

That's too bad that your time here was so short. You are right about photo-ops wherever you look.
