Memorial Day in Pictures

On Monday, Dan and I took the kids out to the Jacksonville National Cemetery. It was a very moving experience, even for the little ones. What an awesome privilege it is to be able to serve our country.

THANK YOU!

How sleep the brave, who sink to rest,
By all their country's wishes blest!
When Spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallow'd mould,
She there shall dress a sweeter sod
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy hands their knell is rung,
There Honour comes, a pilgrim gray,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay;
And Freedom shall awhile repair,
To dwell, a weeping hermit, there.


~William Collins
