Memorial Day 2014

The first Memorial Day since John's brother died.

I have never been to Willamette National Cemetery at Memorial Day.  I was unprepared and awed at the sight of all those flags.  Every grave had been marked by the Boy Scouts with a flag. Acres in every direction were filled with waving flags.  It really was a visual image that will stay with me, as to all the people who have served our country.  

 I was not trying to be artistic with a camera tilt in the shot above, it is just the way it is, since the cemetery is at the top of a hill in Portland.
