Memorial Day

Memorial Day.  It used to be the day (or weekend) we'd have a family BBQ with the Petersen's and visit graves with flowers.  It still is, mostly.  Me and my brood haven't made it to many graves in the last few years, but we do attend any and all BBQ's we can manage.  

This year, similar to the first Veteran's Day after Justin joined the Navy, felt a little different.  I used to notice the flags on many of the graves and knew what it meant.  It obviously means something different to me now.  Justin even attended the BBQ via Face Time.
