Now known as Memorial Day...You can read more about it HERE, it's pretty interesting.
The next couple of photos I took a year ago when we were heading to Texas, we stopped in Vicksburg Mississippi for the night. But before we left we visited the Vicksburg National Military Park where the Siege of Vicksburg took place.
Remembering ALL veterans!
Great memorial day post. It's interesting to me how not only did decoration day change into memorial day but Armistice day changed to Veteran's Day in the U.S.

Your photos are sobering, making me wish there were no wars but only peace.
