Memorial Day

I took this photo in June, 2007 at the Lorraine American Cemetery in St. Avold, France with my Casio EX-Z1050. The rose in the foreground with the white crosses in the background marking the graves of American soldiers who died liberating Europe in WWII is a reminder of all those who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our nation – in WWII and in other conflicts. Today we who live in freedom give honor and remembrance those who sacrificed all on our behalf and say a prayer for the loved ones they left behind.

Presidents Day

In honor of Presidents Day I’m posting a couple appropriately themed photos today. This is Mt. Vernon which was home of President George Washington before, during, and after his presidency. Photo taken July, 2007.

In February 2009 I happened to encounter our first and sixteenth presidents in Old Town Alexandria on Presidents Day. Now if that’s not a coincidence of mind-blowing historic proportions I don’t know what is. 😉

I took both of these photos with my Casio EX-Z1050.
