Memorial Day 2007 Ed.

Each year I attend Memorial Day Services in my home town. This year, thanks to my new found hobby of photography, I thought I'd bring it to you. It's hard for me to understand what these people gave in order for me to live the life I do. That being said, I grabbed my camera and went to the cemetary with one thing in mind; Try to show what Memorial Day is all about. I hope I caught at least a small part of the feeling.

Go here. Memorial Day

Thanks,

T

P.S. Take note of something I saw when I loaded the photo's into my computer. I can't be sure, but I think the American Bald Eagle, the symbol of my country, paid a visit into one of my photo's. If it did, it gives me the creeps in a way. The photo is labeled.

I needed to revisit this post as I uploaded more pictures. They are not of my towns program but rather of a memorial which was built on a site we call "Pine Mountain".

One thing that has really ripped at me is, my god, we're fighting damn near all of the time!!! I'm sure the gaps were filled with non-reported crap also. When the hell is my country going to think peace!

I see what you mean. It does look like that silhouette of a lapel badge.

I found the shot of the headstones adorned with caps etc. the most moving.
