Wish I’d seen this sooner. Still sharing it, though. Just because Memorial Day is past doesn’t mean we should forget these sacrifices. Beautifully touching post, Joan! 🙂 ❤

Thank you, Marcia. We visited the DC area four years ago. Touring Arlington was very sobering.

It is, indeed. I haven’t been to Washington in many years, but I’ll never forget my trip, in particular, visiting Arlington and the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials.

It’s a town rich in history. We saw a lot during our visit and there’s still so much to see. The Lincoln Memorial was amazing as was the War memorials. And seeing the eternal flame on JFK’s grave.

Well said. Sadly, we take their sacrifices for granted.

I just wrote a scene that takes place in Arlington National Cemetery. I pray no one ever takes these sacrifices for granted. Lovely post.

Our visit there was sobering, to say the least. I agree. No one should ever take what these men and women did for granted.
