Remember Them on Memorial Day

I try to put a display in my front yard every year so those who pass by will remember what Memorial Day is really about.

This was from last year. The number was 1655. I printed out the list of the fallen.

People left flowers by the signs.

I made a special tribute to Casey Sheehan who's birthday is on Memorial Day and Alex Arredondo who was my neighbor's son. I made copies of Carly's Poem (Casey's Sister) to hand out for Casey on top of his sign and I copied a letter Alex had sent home to hand out on the top of Alex's sign.

  

This is my display for this year. I had to do something that was waterproof because we are getting a lot of rain. The number was 2,458 but I had to change it to 2,464 this morning.

May PEACE be inside all of us,
Cindy
