Memorial Day 2023

Fort Worden National Cemetery, Port Townsend Washington.
On Memorial Day the flag is flown at half mast from sunrise to noon.
It is fascinating to see who comes to a national cemetery on Memorial Day. Some are there to visit family members.
Some come to read the tombstones and wonder about dates and places of service.

We stopped and talked with a gentleman and his wife who came to visit the resting place of his mother. He told us stories about his Mom and touching memories that he held dear.

Very often you are in the right place, at the right time, but you don’t know it.
