Memorial Day here in the US

Memorial Day pays tribute to the those who have given their lives

while serving our country.

We give our thanks to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice

for us, for the U.S.

Land of the Free, because of the Brave.

Memorial Day 2008

At Forks Cemetery, there were a group of people putting flags out on the graves. We've found that this community is supportive and responsive to the military members and their families, a true community.

Today is Memorial Day in the United States, a holiday dedicated to the men and women who have given their lives serving our country. From us to the families of those who are gone: Thank you for the sacrifice your loved one made for all of us. Thank you for the sacrifice you made.
