of us over from time to eternity.

A beautiful memorial day. I like the 1st picture with the flag flying from the top of the tree against the blue sky and mountain.
In the presence of King Willem-Alexander, the fallen American soldiers were commemorated on Sunday afternoon in Margraten at the annual Memorial Day ceremony.
"Margraten" is a cemetery in a village in the Dutch municipality of Eijsden-Margraten, South Limburg, where since the end of World War II the graves of 8301 American soldiers who died in the Netherlands now 75 years ago.
Happy Memorial Day, Ginny! Today My brother in law has been sending us pictures of his military days from the yesteryears...
Curious...that USAF Stephan Reed...is he a relative of yours?
Happy Memorial Day.
the header shot is perfect and says Memorial Day all by itself. the quote at the end is one i have not heard before. it is also perfect. TV land has been running war movies all week and we watched 3 of them, which puts in our heads what our memorial day is for
Thanks for a beautiful Memorial Day post.
A beautiful post and a comforting quote. one I had never hear/read before. Thank you and have a nice day.

Poignant and well said, Ginny.

Such beautiful pictures, Ginny!! I'm one of the odd folks in that I love cemeteries. I find them so peaceful and calm. I remember my Mom and I walking through our local cemetery on lazy Sunday afternoons, when I was little. No internet, no cable tv, no extra money, nothing back then.... so Mom would entertain me as best she knew how. Rides to the local park to swing on the swings, walks through the cemetery, fishing at Sycamore Park... were just a few things we did. Love you, Andrea xoxo

A beautiful tribute Ginny! Wishing you all a blessed Memorial Day!
Ginny, in answer to your questions on my Blog post.
No my Father in law didn't die in a war but was active in the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Retired 30 year Major in the Army.
The dragonfly is real. I snapped the picture at Patriot's Day a few years ago. Nice he posed on the flag.

God bless you and your family today, Ginny! xoDiana
The reason I asked about the Reed name (I had no idea - that's why I mentioned relative) Now, my daughter's husband ...his Great grandfather was also a Stephen Reed. (The Stephen was spelled with an "E" instead of like your headstone ...an "A".) 1800's tho.
Moving photos and thoughtful quote.
