Memorial Day

[Paul Denbow]

Taken at Monocacy Battlefield, May 25th, 2014. Flags honoring the dead from both the Union and Confederates forces that fought here.

Nice photo. Great sentiment. All are truly deserving of honor. Salutes to the fallen of all conflicts, and pray they not be forgotten.

SALUTE!

All the dogs here became silent .... really great to see both flags and men honored as it should be.

Nicely done. I always appreciate it when a photographer takes the trouble to shoot his subject from an appropriate angle, rather than just standing there and pointing his or her camera.

I think it's very nice, too. In my local cemeteries, I see hundreds and hundreds of US flags every Memorial Day. I love seeing them. They are on the graves of service people from many wars. There are plenty of Confederate veterans buried in my town, too, but I never see flags on their graves on Memorial Day. Here and there out in the county, I'll see a flag at other times, but never in my home town. I'm not sure that implies anything significant. They are probably just overlooked and forgotten.

A fitting tribute...

The Boy Scouts put U.S. flags on both U.S. and Confederate graves here for the Memorial Day weekend. AFAIK it's not been a controversial thing.
