We've been to Washington DC two times, in 2006 (Feb....chilly) and April 2018 (Cherry Blossom time!). Today, being Memorial Day, has found me reviewing some of those photos. Here's some of my touching remembrances from those unforgettable visits. Bob
Pg 4 as always a great set. Thanks.

Found this poem fits the theme...
WHEN DUTY CALLED
We've laid aside our peaceful tasks,
we've packed our kits and gone to war.
We loved those things we left behind,
But loved our country even more.
And though we lie in some strange land,
Forgotten, perhaps, by all but God,
We rest in peace because we know
Transgressors' heels shall never grind
Our country's flag into the dust.
We know, because we made it so,
The lad whose hands has milked the cow,
Whose hands have guided straight the plow;
He did not shirk his country,s call,
But gladly gave his life, his all.

Thanks to all for the Patriotic Posts to celebrate this special Holiday.
I think this is the first time I EVER spent Memorial Day alone.

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.
Super piece of work, Pat. Thanks for the challenge. Your work has inspired and challenged me to play around with some of the archives.
one I posted before I'm sure.

Is that the one that activists have been wanting to tear down? So glad it's still in place.
