"On this day take time to remember those who have fallen.
But on every day after, do more; put the freedoms they died for to greater and nobler uses."
"Remembering our loved ones is breathing life into their faded images, that we might once more see their faces and pass along a tearful "I miss you".
~ Richelle E. Goodrich, Slaying Dragons
Memorial Day is an important day in America. It’s a day to give thanks, to pay tribute and to remember those who gave their lives to protect our country. In reality, we should be thankful every single day of the year, but the third Monday of May is the official day where we all come together to honor our fallen soldiers
We all trooped over to a couple cemeteries for our usual visit on this day. It's a sobering thing. Bugs planted her little flag before we left. I hope everyone is having a nice day...remember.
Also...last day to submit a "profile" shot for WAW ;)
A new theme tomorrow!

Constructed in 1921 to commemorate the two Battles of the Marne from World War I, the Marne Dormans Memorial is located between Paris and Reims on the D980.
The First Battle of the Marne 1914 was a strategic victory, saving Paris from capture by the Germans, but saw a loss of 250,000 French (a comparable number of Germans) and 12, 733 British.
The Second Battle that the Marne Dormans Memorial commemorates in the summer of 1918 would be the last major German offensive. The French suffered a loss of 95,000 men, Germany 168,000, Britain 13,000 losses and the U.S. 12,000.
Dormans Memorial Chapel
This 171 foot high World War I memorial has three levels. The ossuary level of the memorial holds the bones of approximately 1500 unidentified soldiers.
The Dormans Memorial crypt, which opens onto the main square in front of this Gothic-inspired building, is a place of mourning. It stands for the 1,350,000 people who died during the battles here. Their names are engraved in the stone walls.

Gedenkspur, Pirna
Für jedes der über 14.000 Opfer, die in der Tötungsanstalt Pirna-Sonnenstein vergast wurden, steht heute symbolisch ein farbiges Kreuz als Teil einer Gedenkspur, die von der Altstadt Pirnas aus bis in den Keller auf Schloss Sonnenstein an den Ort des Verbrechens führt.
For each of the more than 14,000 victims who were gassed in the Pirna-Sonnenstein killing center, a colored cross symbolizes the crime and forms part of a memorial trail that leads from Pirna's old town to the cellar of Sonnenstein Castle, the site of the crime.

Berlin
The memorial with its huge blocks would not be known for beauty. But there is something in this gigantic blocks in those straight lines, the the further down the narrow gorges that gets into your soul
The Holocaust Memorial is a very impactful memorial in Berlin and reminder of the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The site is covered with 2,711 concrete slabs arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field. A highly emotional experience walking between the slabs. The moody clouds definitely added to the experience. History the world can never forget. This beautiful tree is a symbol of life and hope.
Isamu Noguchi im Musem Ludwig Köln:
Bei 'Sculpture to Be Seen from Mars (Memorial to Man)' entwirft Noguchi eine außerirdische Perspektive auf unseren Planeten. Auf der Oberfläche der Erde erscheint ein riesiges menschliches Gesicht, eine Erinnerung an die Menschheit, die die Erde mit Kultur geformt, aber auch zerstört hat.
