Memorial Day

Yesterday we lounged around in the morning. After we got ready for the day we headed to the cemetary to visit my uncle and my grandparents grave. They are one in the same. He was their youngest child and is laid to rest between them. Although he was laid to rest first due to his death in the Vietnam war. He was only twenty-two. We go each year to remember the sacrifice, decorate their gravestone with red, white and blue flowers, and to pray for our family and other families affected by war. James placed two American flags where Uncle Ronnie lies. He then placed a white carnation on top of the gravestone.

  1. Wow that was chilling for your uncle to die so young during Vietnam War. I tried enlisting during that ERA but was turned down because of a hearing disability, Thank God

    Take Care God Bless you all
