Lottie,

Welcome back.  Your picture reminds me of the cemetary in West Los Angeles.  It looks exactly the same.  It is good to take a moment to remember those who have served.  A

That picture is such a touching scene, Lottie!  The number of tombstones and flags at the Presidio reminds us that freedom often has a price.

Lottie - this is a good way to remember.  Our American Legion decorates the gaves.  We have some going  back to the Revolutionary War.

Grant Schneider - the graves here don't go back that far; I know a number of soldiers fought in the Spanish-American war, in the late 1890's.
