Remembering The Sacrifice

The Memorial Day Observance Ceremony at Andersonville National Cemetery featured the U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence Band, and local veterans organizations laid wreaths in remembrance of the many brave soldiers who died so we can live freely.

The weather cooperated on this Sunday afternoon, offering overcast skies and a light breeze while holding off the rain until the ceremony concluded.

We walked among rows of headstones decorated with gently swaying American flags, grateful for others' willingness to serve and to sacrifice life, appreciative of the efforts of those who established and maintain this sacred site as a resting place for our soldiers.
