A Memorial Day Tribute

On my way to Roland Garros today, decided to stop by the American Cemetery to pay my respects.  And to snap some pictures to help all of us to remember those that fought for our country, our fallen soldiers.   This stop, drove home the fact that our soldiers not only fight or fought for our country ....but for others as well.   In this case France.  Giving their all so that we ....the world....may sleep better at night.  Safe and Sound!

Many thanks to our Veterans and those currently serving.  We enjoy so many things everyday because of your willingness to serve and protect.

Here is a brief description of the American Cemetery from Wikipedia:

Originally a World War I cemetery, it now shelters the remains of U.S. dead of both world wars. The 7.5-acre (3.0 ha) cemetery contains the remains of 1,541 Americans who died in World War I and 24 Unknown dead of World War II

Please enjoy this video I put together with my pictures:
