It was a good Memorial Day. Early in the morning I was a part of the Parade through Downtown, an Honor Gaurd of 100 Harleys, split in half led and tailed the parade. Then I picked up my 8 year old Nephew Mark and took him to Wisconsin Memorial Park, a cemetary that celebrates Memorial Day by putting up over 1,000 full size flags. We walked around a lot, and talked about Memorial Day, what it means, why it is important. I showed him where my Grandfather, a WWII Navy Veteran is buried, and we talked about my son Josh who is serving his second tour in Afghanastan. It was a quiet reflective day for the both of us. We both took a lot shots, but the size of the crowds made it difficult to get a clean shot. I was hoping to get back at sunset, but the clouds and the rain had moved in by that time. I think that Mark actually came up with the shot of the day. I hope you enjoyed your day as much as I enjoyed mine.
