It literally took my breath away to see how many graves there were out there. And then to think that this is just one of many cemeterys for the men and women who served our country....it was overwhelming.
We went out there to see some family members who have served. First, we made our way to Pawpaw's grave. He passed away before I started dating Aaron, but I know I would have loved him if I had known him. It was a very touching moment for me to finally "meet" him. Aaron has told me so many stories about him...I know he was a special person.
Then we headed over and found Mawmaw's brother, Uncle Ray. He just passed away last year, so this was everyones first time to visit his grave. I did get to meet him, and he was a very kind man.
It is so beautiful and peaceful out there. I am so glad that Greg invited me to go. I couldn't imagine a better way to honor those who have fought for our freedom, and I will be forever thankful to them all.
