. “Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them.”-. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The red poppy is a widely recognized symbol of remembrance and sacrifice, particularly for those who have died in service to their country, making it a fitting emblem for Memorial Day, which honors the nation's fallen heroes.

Remembering my Grandfather Thomas (left) who served in WWI and my Uncle Bill (right) who served in WWII. I never met my Grandfather, he died long before I was born but I did know my Uncle. Both men had shrapnel in their bodies and lived with it until their death. The photo of my Grandfather was taken around 1916 and my Uncle in the 60's sometime.
Before taking the day off of building the new I-74 bridge as a Memorial Day salute, all the cranes were turned to face east and a large flag was raised.
One of my favorite folk songs. It is a circular song, meaning it ends where it starts, and it summarizes the consequences of war. While some consider it an antiwar song, I also see it as a recognition of those who have had to make the ultimate sacrifice for their country, as well as those of their families. Having served my country for over twenty years in the military, I give those who have given all my utmost respect and admiration.
Lyrics:
Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls picked them, ev’ry one.
Oh, When will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the young girls gone, long time passing?
Where have all the young girls gone, long time ago?
Where have all the young girls gone?
Gone to young men, ev’ry one.
Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the young men gone, long time passing?
Where have all the young men gone, long time ago?
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers, ev’ry one.
When will we ever learn? Oh, when we ever learn?
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards, ev’ry one.
When will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the graveyards gone, long time passing?
Where have all the graveyards gone, long time ago?
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Gone to flowers, ev’ry one.
When will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn?

Requiem
Preghiera alle Stelle
Preghiera al Cielo
Preghiera a Dio
Lassù
Nel Mistico Mistero
Questo piccolo mondo
Ti invoca
è in ginocchio
che prega
che spera
per un domani
in cui sia ancora sera
Requiem a Dio
Azzurra Preghiera
Parole in silenzio
Disposte
Composte
A Te che hai tutte le risposte
Noi piccoli uomini
siamo solo domande
siamo vetro che non sarà mai stella
siamo pensieri
siamo superbia
siamo libero arbitrio
senza destino
E adesso
questo piccolo mondo
è in declino
Preghiera al Cielo
Preghiera a Dio
col capo chino
piegàti dentro un inchino
Tu sei Luce
a Te ogni cosa conduce
da Te ogni cosa nasce
Noi ti invochiamo
per avere pace dalla brace
di questo Inferno
eternamente inverno
Ave Maria Madre di Dio
illumina il buio
di questo piccolo mondo
di ombre
di tombe
e di fragili Io
Prayer to the Stars
Prayer to Heaven
Prayer to God
up there
In the Mystical Mystery
This little world
invoke You
it is on knees
that praying
that hopes
for tomorrow
where is still night
Requiem to God
Blue Prayer
Words in silence
arranged
composed
To You that You have all the answers
We are little men
we are only questions
we are glass that will never be star
we are thought
we are pride
we have free will
Fateless
And now
this little world
is declining
Prayer to Heaven
Prayer to God
with our head down
we bent into a bow
You are the Light
everything leads to you
everything comes from You
We will invoke
to have peace from the embers
of this Hell
eternally winter
Hail Mary Mother of God
you give light to darkness
of this small world
of shadows
of tombs
and fragile I

Serendipitous. This is Cedar Memorial Cemetery. When I pulled in and parked, the wind was calm. I barely noticed where I had parked. When I was ready to leave, though, the breeze had picked up, and the photo presented itself to me. Without the license plate, of course, the image wouldn't have worked.
