It’s Christmas Eve! We will be heading out to spend the day visiting with family, have a nice meal, and exchange presents. We’ll repeat that with the other half of the family the next day. Needless to say, it is a great time of year! I enjoy the time off, and the freedom to make new family photos. So many families make new photos this time of year, and we will do the same. It is such a blessing to have our families close so that we do not have to travel far to see them. We hope that all of you have a safe holiday, and get to relax with some time off too.
There are many major roadways that pass the area of Arlington National Cemetery, just outside Washington, DC. The sprawling burial grounds for service men and women is decorated for the holidays at each marker. Wreaths are laid onto each grave site by donations and with the work of many volunteers.
The wreaths are nice remembrances for all those that have served, and passed. To honor them, I spent a quiet morning walking the grounds, and discreetly taking a few photos. I walked from the Visitors Center all the way to Section 8 which is across the highway from the Pentagon, and near the Air Force Memorial. No section was missing wreaths from the sections bordering the roadway, all the way to the top of the western hill.
