Default Lest We Forget -- Not In Vain

Your photos brought to mind two sentiments Lest We Forget and Not In Vain which come to mind each Memorial Day and Veterans Day, in the US May 31 and November 11th.

The May 31st has gotten rather flexible in the US with towns and cities having commemorative events and parades over three weekends. Yesterday Sunday 6th was when my small town could get the band and marching units to take part in our small parade.

While our small town had a number of men serve in WWII only 3 died during the war. These men are recognized each year by name during the ceremonies as are any of those who served who have died during the last year. This year the reading of the list of those who had died was particularly poignant as the last native son of the town to serve in WWII has died.

Thank you for sharing the photos
