Time to Remember.....Veteran's Day 2015

[maharba]

The poppies only bloom a short season, usually later than decoration day. And the premises of Gettysburg events were solely to honor the Federal dead, not the South. What a colossal waste WW One was. Hard to believe that Kaiser was allowed to simply move to Belgium, and later on applaud Hitler. I still see big trees planted on Armistice day. At a glance, from half a mile away, you can always tell the WWI memorial plantings. Rows along a street in a park, and then the same sized trees in the older neighborhoods, obviously planted the exact same day, for the same reason. Folks used to know for WHOM each tree was planted, and the name of the man and a little bit about him.
