Mara-A fitting place of tribute to our brave men and women. Thanks for sharing. <SMILE>
Awesome my small town of Saline does a parade, and then a lunch at the VA. It is very touching and anyone in town turns out.
Hi Mara. It looks like Auburn is doing Memorial Day up right. We cannot forget those fallen military who gave so much for our country.

I saw this post earlier and did not get a chance to stop and comment as I zipped through my reads for the day--but, your photos are wonderful and certainly give your reader a sense of being there. What a wonderful tribute to our American heros to whom we should all be ever so grateful.
Have a GREAT weekend!
