Yesterday, in honor and remembrance of Memorial Day, we visited a couple local cemeteries. It is humbling to see the flags placed near each of the graves of those who served in our armed forces and the graves of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
All gave some. Some gave all.
We visited Willshire Cemetery first.

We visited Zion Lutheran Cemetery at Schumm next.
At Zion Lutheran Cemetery, Chattanooga, my parents’ tombstone:
Freedom is not free.
Let us never forget the sacrifices made by these men and women.
