Each spring my grandparents and I would go and clean out weeds, place flowers and tidy up the graves of forebears as well as the veterans buried in our local cemetery. This was small-town Oklahoma in the early fifties, eons ago in most folks' minds.<br /><br />It was always a somber occasion, even though we always took a picnic lunch and chatted with other people out doing the same activities. Many chats, and some tears over 'so and so's' son, especially on that particular day. Remembering good times as well as bad, sharing stories of loved ones no longer present.<br /><br />I contrast this with our Beloved Leader's lackluster and bored presence at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I have witnessed the changing of the guard and it can be a tearful experience. Some people seem to equate it as just another attraction in the theme park known as DC.<br /><br />We have lost much of what made America what it used to be. In my seventy years I've seen many changes, many of them not for the good. It seems to come home to me every Decoration Day. Just wanted to pass this along.<br /><br />RazCountglockulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439720948349353264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-33100820668168224092016-05-30T10:57:29.482-04:002016-05-30T10:57:29.482-04:00Amen.
