Day for Remembrance
These are some old postcards from the Arlington National Cemetery. I remember visiting Washington D.C. on a high school field trip in 1973. I have photos buried somewhere of the endless rows of headstones. It is a solemn site that leaves one speechless.
Costa Rica does not have an army and of course, Memorial Day is not observed here but as an American, this day could not pass without my observance.

Sidenote: North Korea conducted it's second underground nuclear test.
"All hell is fixin' to break out now."

Back in in early 80's, I lived in Honolulu and loved it. Problem was, my husband found a girlfriend so we left and went back to Florida. That hidesight is 20-20, sometimes I wished I'd dropped him and stayed but then, I wouldn't be here, would I?
Nice to hear from you Bob in Honolulu!!
