Commander of Royersford VFW Post 6341 in PA.

As we stand here looking
At the flags upon these graves
Know these flags represent
A few of the true American brave

No matter which war was fought
On the day that they died
I stand here looking at these flags
Filled with American pride.

Take home with you a sense of pride
You were here Memorial Day.
Celebrating the way Americans should
On this solemnest of days.  

5:30am the calmness of the morning and the overwhelming numbers of graves and dead soldiers silence in every direction of the peninsula, I was overwhelmed with silence, solitude and memories.  Freedom to think and be grateful to be an American on this day!

With loving respect,  I bring my dobermans, the breed that helped the fight in WWII also

known as "devil dogs".     

A note placed on Memorial Day touched my heart!
