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.

Tomorrow we honor those who served in our Armed Forces. Throughout the country big and small towns will hold solemn ceremonies, shake hands or slap comrades on the back. They will reminisce about their time in the service. There will be a gathering at Philadelphia's Vietnam War Memorial. It will be nice for those who attend.

Over the next 5 days I will be putting images taken while visiting the memorial every Memorial Day. This Monday Bill and I will make the visit again. As a Vietnam Veteran Bill feels that this is important.
