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.

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

On Memorial Day 2012 I attended the funeral of a fallen Buchanan Clansman at Arlington National Cemetery. He was killed in action in the Middle East. It was an experience I shall never forget.

On the left shoulder of the Soldiers in the photo above is this. (Minus the Spearhead patch)  I received mine the week after graduating NCO Academy in 1977. I volunteered two weeks for every duty required in donning this patch (including funerals.) I proudly wear this to any event that warrants my paying respect to veterans. Too many times, I'm saying goodbye to friends.

I piped at the entrance to a local cemetery as people arrived for the ceremony this morning. It was nice. People in our little town love their vets, and there was a nice turnout with the VFW and American Legion.
So many flags on so many graves. It's humbling.
