My Blog Memorial Day 5/18/2012 A Humbling Sight

 

Today, Memorial Day, 2012, we knew that the Boy Scouts of America, the Cub Scouts of America, and the Eagle Scouts would place individual flags on the graves of all the gravesites at Ft. Rosecrans, so we decided to visit.

The photo shows what it looks like to have over 100,000 gravesites marked with an American Flag.  The flags will come down on Tuesday, so it's just a once-per-year opportunity to see them.  Very a very humbling sight.
