Summer 2012 (Day 5) Memorial Day

Memorial Day was a toasty one with highs in the lower 90s. Perfect pool, ice cream, and barbecue weather!

In our little town, the Veterans of Foreign Wars does a great display lining main street from one end of the town to the other with American Flags.

Off of the main drag is a side street that leads to both our small subdivision and the local town cemetery . The cemetery is filled with many graves of veterans dating back to the Civil War.

Even with all the teaching I've done on the pioneers, and reading that Mary and I have done with the Little House series, it is hard for me to imagine life in the mid-1800s out here on the prairie!  Challenging is one word that comes to mind!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the following pictures as they represent the pride and thankfulness we have for our men and women in uniform forever protecting the stars and stripes.

Is this the DeSoto cemetery?
