Memorial Day/Decoration Day: A Day of Remembrance



National Day of Remembrance: Many people observe this holiday by decorating their homes and communities with America Flags, patriotic banners, streamers and red white and blue buntings. Many people visit cemeteries and memorials and places decorations of flowers and flags to honor the memory of our Veteran's service to our Country.

I shot above photos last October when my sister Kathye and I went to Philadelphia for a history tour. The flag is a mural on the side of a building and the photo below is the monument of The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Eternal Flame burning at Washington Square.
