"As America celebrates Memorial Day, we pay tribute to those who have given their lives in our nation's wars." ~ John M. McHugh

I highly recommend visiting our nations capital...

as it prepares to celebrate Memorial Day...

with a Veteran in tow. 

Seeing it all through tear-filled eyes somehow gives clarity, 

as one after another stopped to thank him for his service.

Meanwhile, 

as we pass reminders of those who will never hear our gratitude,

"Freedom is not free" echoes across the hills. 

Have a Memorable weekend.
