Memorial Day 2009

I took the following pictures on Saturday May 23, 2009 at the town of North Attleborough's Memorial Day parade. A small south eastern Massachusetts town with history to colonial times it celebrates memorial day as it was meant to be, as a remembrance of those served and died in service to our nation. I think the pictures speak to the spirit of remembrance when so often these holidays become an excuse for consumption and excess.

    Certainly more people should pause and remember what this holiday is about... I love the weathered old faces of the retired soldiers... smiling now... but what shadows lie in their past we can only guess. All for our freedom. A heartfelt thank you to all who served and continue to serve. Thankyou for these photos David.
