Memorial Day PhotosLast edited Sun May 26, 2019, 03:19 PM - Edit history (1)
If you would like, please post a photo in honor of Memorial Day.
Here are two shots I took this morning of the North Carolina Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the grounds of the State Capitol here in Raleigh. Each one of the branches of the armed services is recognized on the plaque. Christ Episcopal Church--across the street--is in the background.

4. Arlington is a very overwhelming place.

I went out there one time when in DC because I wanted to pay respects to the final resting place of JFK.
When I lived in Los Angeles, I used to drive past what is now known as the Los Angeles National Cemetery on Wilshire at Sepulveda Boulevards all the time. When I lived there, we referred to it as the Veterans Cemetery in Westwood. This is a shot of it--not my photo--but found on the internet  |

6. Went back this morning and took photos of the Memorial to WW I--WWII--Korean War
|
that is on the north side of the Capitol building.
The Memorial has a pillar for each branch of the military services--flying its flag above--and Lady Liberty at the top is holding a tobacco leaf! Major engagements of each of the wars are listed on the bronze plaques on each of three sides dedicated to WW I, WW II, and the Korean War. The inscription at the base of the center column reads WW I 
WW II Korean War  |
