This weeks theme for Crazy Days of Summer is Patriotism. I thought of many ways that I could go with this photo. But after taking my Mom and Dad to the
Dallas/Ft Worth National Cemetery on July 4th I knew exactly what photo would represent and mean Patriotism. It's a fairly new National Cemetery as far as National Cemeteries go as it's only been open since 2000. It's set on 638 acres of beautiful rolling hills and once it is at capacity it will hold 280,000 eligible veterans and their dependents. Here are just a few of the brave men and women that gave their lives for their country.
Below is the same area but taken from further away.
I'm also submitting the first photo for the "
Favorite Photo of the Week Contest", "
Show {Off} Your Shot" and "
Fabulous Friday".
