How nice there will be gravestones for these veterans now.
There is a group that are trying to photograph all gravestones of Veterans that served for Canada.
Their web page is www.mapleleaflegacy.org
I know they would be very interested to have photos of these new gravestones. Full information can be found at the above web page.
Lest We Forget
I take a walk through the cemetary every so often just to keep a perspective on my own mortality. Try it. Alone. Gives one time to pause and think.
Well said Harbinger, and I do the same from time to time.
A very peaceful place to just wander and think.
