Memorial Day: 2019

The photos below are actually from early winter of 2018.   A Memorial Park was dedicated to those men and women who served their counties over the last 100 years.   It was a pleasure being there to pay my respects.

From the area came a Medal of Honor recipient.   Keith Richard Sorenson threw himself on a hand grenade during WWII in the Pacific Theatre.   He saved the lives of his comrades.





Some of his family who still reside in the area were in attendance.  It was a pleasure to meet them.

Thank you, Private Sorenson.   And thanks to all the men and women who served their country.  Many of them have paid the ultimate price.
