Memorial Day

I highly recommend this photo essay for your Memorial Day reading. It was linked in a post on another blog. And don't forget the National Momement of Remembrance at 3PM (whatever timezone you are in) on Monday, 29 May 2006 (Memorial Day Observed).

A photo of the grave marker of my father's mother's mother's father.
(It is a modern VA issue marker, which is why it isn't pointed on top.)

Update: I found another good Memorial Day Post and thought I'd share it.
