Every time I drive past the Willamette National Cemetery it reminds me how many young men and woman gave their life for my freedom. But, there is just something special about this weekend when you drive by and see thousands upon thousands of flags placed on every grave site. It really shows the sacrifice they took to keep me and my family free. So, thank you!

What if there was a way you could search the MLS for FREE just like Realtors
Now you can access the MLS using similar tools as Realtors. You are in control of what you want to search for, and you can search the MLS at your leisure. The information you submit in the form below can also be used to put you on an automated system where you'll be emailed all homes that meet your search criteria. You'll get internet access to a website that includes pictures, prices, and addresses to real estate that's listed in the MLS!
Great photo Todd, and an excellent reminder for all of us. I understand I'm supposed to ask you about an Easter Bunny story. (Karen Anne Stone).
Todd:
There is a site like this less than a block from our Condo.
The West Jordan Veterans Memorial Park will fly many flags this weekend, over graves of those that made a real sacrifice.
Thanks for reminding us to consider these unselfish acts.
I love seeing a cemetary with the flags on the gravestones...we must not ever forget the sacrifices that were made....My husband participates in the Honor Guard for military funerals in his area...it is pretty amazing to see ....and such a tribute! Beautiful picture!!
Todd I really don't think many Americans care all that much any more. They are all caught up in their selfish wants. Heck the President isn't even going to Arlington. Thanks for the picture.
very nice photo. I am sitting here now looking at my window. I think I have some ideas to post for later today.
What a simple yet so very poignant reminder to be thankful to those that have given so much for us!
Some time maybe we can engage in a conversation on civic duty. It could be interesting. Meanwhile, here's a quote I recently came across (again): The price of freedom is eternal vigilance by Thomas Jefferson.
Those flags, like your photo, remind us of the great cost of freedom and those that gave their lives for us. Let us never forget.
Todd,
Simple but elegant post. Thank you for the photo and the message. Great job. :)
Steve
You are correct Todd, freedom isn't free.
Lofe the photo. Home run here. Can't forget why they've done what theyve done......for us. Pray for them. God protect us!
Todd,
I like this shot for expressing your message. Now featured on "Silent Saturday." Congratulations. :)
Steve
Todd - There's not much to say when you look at that photo as it reminds us all of the great sacrifices made by so many who we pay homage to and honor today.
Love it! Happy Memorial Day! Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Kathleen
I'm proud to be an American.. and it grates on my nerves (to say the least) those that come into this country for handouts.. not "What they can do for this country".
Happy Memorial Day.
Todd, This is a great message and a reminder that the price of freedom comes at the highest price.
Thanks Todd, good to remember the real meaning of Memorial Day.
It will make your heart stop for a moment when you realize what these folks have done for us.
I shook many many hands that day saying "Thank You" to those visiting friends they had lost during the war. What was sad was the next day, we saw yet another military funeral taking place there.
