    That captures what this day is all about, our freedoms and that of future generations. That sweet photo brought tears to my eyes.

      Thanks Aunt Celeste! It was so nice to be able to celebrate with family and think in Memoriam of why we have a long weekend and how important freedom and sacrifice are for us all!

    Karina is marching!

  3. Aunt Sumi says:

    Karina said “flowers” as she pointed at the field of flags…she’s so sweet!

  4. Peggy says:

    Right in step. Don’t you wish you were there!

  5. Yvonne says:

    I totally agree and love the shot!

Boston Commons has a memorial of 37,000 flags planted this year (and every year) in memory of every fallen Massachusetts service member from the Revolutionary War (1776-1783) to the present. I tried to capture Karina marching in memory of all our fallen veterans.
