A morning well spent in the rain........
The National Cemetery in Leavenworth KS was a beautiful place to spend a couple of hours in this morning.
In a town of 35,000 people, over 1000 showed up in the rain to place flags on the 36,000+ graves of vets buried here.
The ritual was to clearly state the name, rank and war of those buried while placing a flag on the right hand corner of the grave.
It was impressive.

May they never be forgotten, and may we keep what they fought and died for.

We were on a road trip and passed a lot of midwestern cemetaries this weekend. I am gladdened to see that there's an awful lot of folks left in this country who still remember.
