3. I am ridiculously pleased to know

that there are still people (and if I'd had to guess who, I'd have been right) who visit and decorate graves, on Memorial Day or any time. As a child, I used to go to the cemetery with my grandmother to pull weeds and put fresh flowers on family graves ( the cemetery was a place where I could find four-leaf clovers). I never visit graves, nor did my parents, even though my father was a decorated WWII vet of the Army Air Force. We all ought to tend our heroes' graves, especially on day like this, set aside to honor our war dead.

You're a fine fellow, TEB.
