It is an old cemetery and quite large. Graves from the 1700's through today. As I visited this morning to leave flowers at the grave of my husband who served in Korea, I was astounded by the number of flags at the graves of our American veterans. Heroes all. Our town honors all veterans with a flag at their grave.
To those of you who served, our profound thanks. We are here because you gave us your most valued gift. Whether you left us on the field of combat as Chris Piper did in Afghanistan or you came back to lead your life as you made it, we thank you for what you gave to all of us.
