Honoring Veterans

[mickeym3]

To all my fellow veterans I wish for you a day of happiness and good memories made. To all of their families as well. To others please pause to honor veterans and the sacrifices put forth by them and their families. If you’ve never visited Arlington National Cemetery and witnessed the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier I strongly encourage that you do so. Before the current school year started I took my 11 year old grandson to DC and that was our first stop.  What struck me about this time as opposed to my previous visits was looking across the crowd gathered there I recognized the other veterans in attendance. Their countenance was somehow different and hard to describe in words.  Perhaps it was some sort of spiritual connection that bound us there because we most of all know what symbolism that one grave holds. I would only add one pic that I ran across and it was captioned “a mother dresses her son for the last time”.

My heart-felt gratitude to all Military Veterans out there.   

 

I am headed out to ride today, so a lot of reflection will be going on in my head.

 

Thanks again!!
