A Weekend to Remember Others

I spent some time at Houston National Cemetery this passed weekend. The Wreaths Across America event was on Sunday, December 19th; however, the placement of the wreaths on each and every grave occurred over the last couple of weeks. It was an awesome site to see.

I lost my Mother in 1982 and I try to visit her grave site on her birthday each year. On Monday, December 20th, she would have been 74 years old. While I was there I shot a few photos of a chapel that I have been seeing my whole life each time I go out there.

Here is a link to all the photos in my Not Forgotten Flickr Set.

It was an emotional weekend.
