Memorial Day

[Joemailman]

Take some time to reflect on why most of us aren't at work this Monday.

I'd have to check the name on the tombstone, but I may have seen her yesterday. And by the way, that empty section across the road isn't so empty anymore.

Great pix Joe.

The reminder is spot on.

Thanks, Joe.

Rest in peace.

Actually, I was at Arlington and took a photo of a woman reclining on a grave with a friend sitting next to her. I looked and it wasn't the same name. I also heard part of a conversation near one of the newer graves about how the kids were handling the loss. I tried not to get too close as I didn't want to intrude. Section 60 is a tricky place for me as I want to photograph the tributes and memories without intruding on the grief of the living.

I went to Arlington last summer when I took the kids to DC for vacation....makes you put things in perspective!

The cemetery has come out with a searchable app and website: ANC Explorer. The person who showed it to me organizes the Memorial Day parade and works with Radio America. When I was there this year, I was trying to find someone who had died the day I was born. The gentleman put in the date and found names and locations of 20 people. At least next year, I'll know where to go.
