These are a few photos from our Veterans Day trip yesterday. The photos are from our trip to the J.P. Speed Museum of Art and the Patriots Peace Memorial.
The plaque at the sight gives the symbolism of the monument in this way: "Those remembered here made the ultimate sacrifice. As a name is added, a brick is replaced with glass signifying our loss. This void becomes a point of light which will transform the memorial into a light filled space each day and illuminate the name. As evening approaches the light radiating outward into the community will ever remind us to celebrate the joy of freedom purchased by these brave men and women."
A great place to visit on this Veteran's Day.

This is absolutely fabulous! I love the picture of Mother and Son. We need to get Papa in the picture too. That was just too, too charming though....too beautiful smiles.
I also love your pictures of the Veteran's Memorial and your explanation. Can I be jealous that you did such an outstanding job with you day off?!
