... and we remembered.

Not having anyone in the military or any family in the area, we went to one of the local cemetaries and took some pictures today, to remember those had gone before. There are cemetaries all over in this part of the country! My camera battery died, but I did find the headstone for Richmond's first WWI soldier to be killed in action. He died 90 years ago in France; they brought his remains all the way back to Richmond to be buried.

It was also fun to see that in this part of the country some people remember their ancestor's service to their country by marking the graves with confederate flags.
