Good day all,

Spent this AM and into the afternoon doing duty at the National Cemetery. For those who have never done so I recommend going to these, after the first one you will never forget that Memorial Day is more than BBQ and sales.

Ceremony opens with Colors done by the local Marines. They do an ok job for Marines ()



The Marines, between the local and the Young Marines, were everywhere taking care of many of the ceremonial functions such as the howitzers for the 21 gun salute -



The wreath and folded flag -



They read a list of names of service members who were killed in theater and buried in the Cemetery. As each name was read a Young Marine placed a roses in a chair corresponding to their branch.
