Memorial Day

I chose to do my Memorial Day post on the actual Memorial Day and not the one that is observed because  I feel that it is more solemn and appropriate. I guess that is my old fashioned way of thinking.

  I have discovered a sadly haunting image of a a woman who cleans her husband's shield as she cries. She cries for her husband has been killed in battle and she naturally mourns him. Behind the wife is her husband in a ghostly form to say good bye before going to eternity in Valhalla, where they will, some day,hopefully again be together.


Remember the real reason for memorial day is to honor those that have fallen in battle and not those that have lived. That is what Veteran's day is for.

A Solemnly Blessed Memorial Day
