"In gratitude to those who served... in sorrow for those who lost their lives."
This morning I attended a Memorial Day ceremony at the Downey Cemetery. It was an incredibly moving experience. The ceremony honored the memory of veterans past, and the lives of the veterans who were present.
The ceremony closed with a 21-gun salute and the solemn notes of Taps echoing across the graveyard.
That first shot is wonderful, the reflection allowing the image to do double duty.
