Thursday the 11th of November, was Veteran’s Day here in the States. All across the Nation, Memorial Ceremonies were held to honor those who gave their lives for our country, as well as those who served, continue to serve and all the families.
Our State Veteran’s Cemetery is about 22 miles from our home. It is beautifully laid out, and quite comforting to walk through. A few thousand people came from across our state to remember, and honor the Military.
I took pictures and so did Hubby. We wanted to share with you these pictures, to allow you a chance to see, some of the wonderful men and women who served our Nation in the Military. The cemetery serves both the Military and their Spouses for burial.
I was glad I had on my big sunglasses, because I get quite choked up seeing the love around me. The love for Country, Family and Friends.

What a GREAT celebration — and a great TRIBUTE too Maribeth! I had an entirely different kind of Veteran’s Day today – but I sure was enjoying the FREEDOM that our Veteran’s have insured for us! THANK YOU JACK!!!
WHAT A NICE TRIBUTE. WERE THE TWO CLOSE UP GRAVES FRIENDS?
That was wonderful! Thanks so much for putting it on so we could all enjoy it!! Love YOU, Mel
Now I understand why you went to a cimetary ! Here it was a day off too, but most of the population doesn’t even know why, because it was the end of WW I ! In the other European countries there was no day off except France I guess, because nobody likes to remember such bad times when all our cities were destroyed, people prefer to look into the future and create a united Europe.
