I saw the morning mist burn off just after sunrise. I saw the bluest sky in a while. I saw many brave men and women. I saw kids learning history. I saw the beauty of fall. I saw families crying. I saw my parents. I saw the changing of the guard. I saw the trumpet come out to play taps and my eyes filled with water.
A few minutes with family this morning.

Seeing this brings tears to my eyes. My brother is buried here.

My sympathies for your family. I try to make a few visits a year. If you would like me to swing by and pay respects just let me know the number.
