Thank you for a very touching photo.

Monday I'm going to the marble orchard to visit my father and grandfather, both served in their day, both made it home from their respective wars

Wonderful and, as Dughlas Mor said, thank you. What I will say should not be interpreted as "snark". It is a simple but hopefully poignant observation: Of all the symbology surrounding this time, this specific image there's not a dollar sign to be found. Brilliant! Well done.

To absolutely everyone whom has made a contribution in some way, I say Slainte Mhath.
To the departed, I say The road has met you, the wind is ever at your back:

Went the day well?
We died and never knew.
But, well or ill,
Freedom, we died for you.
