The Final Resting Place

Haddonfield Baptist Cemetery

Haddonfield, NJ

Every year around Memorial Day, Haddonfield's American Legion Post 38 would place American Flags on the graves of the war veterans. My Dad was a member. Today he is buried there along with my great grandfather. Dad was a veteran of World War II, my great grandfather a veteran of the Civil War. Bill took this photo many years before Dad died. He captured a woman placing flowers on the grave of a loved one. Today is May 30th. Years earlier it was considered the true Memorial Day. I can remember standing here at this very cemetery listening to speeches and gun salutes to honor those who could no longer be with us.
