Because of the family members work schedules, we celebrated today instead of Monday.
We do not live close to our veterans' graves - they are scattered across many states - but we wanted to do something to honor service members for Memorial Day.
I bought some flags (10) and we took them to a local cemetery and we each searched graves for service members. The ground was very hard so Greg (my husband) brought a hammer and a good size screw driver and made a hole for the poles of our flags. Each service member was thanked for their service and saluted by Greg (currently active duty Texas Army National Guard) and my son J.J. (former Marine). I was very proud of my family and we all came back home with a good feeling in our hearts.
Here are a few pictures of our afternoon:
