Even being out of the military for years, you can see the pride in their faces.

Memorial Day 2021: Military Personnel 1
It is always moving to see current military personnel at Memorial Day services. There is always a deep sense of pride I sense within them.

Not only were people from the military present, as you would expect. There were a number of people from various law enforcement organizations. This is one of the officers from the city of Anoka.

D-Day 2021
I am clearly not on my game and completely missed that June 6th was the anniversary of D-Day. I am grateful to other bloggers who are more mindful and graciously pointed it out to me privately.
3 years ago I was on Omaha Beach, Sword Beach, Pointe du-Hoc, and Sainte Mere Eglise. It was incredibly moving. It was the 74th anniversary of Day. And people gathered around to remember the Allied soldiers who landed that day and began the liberation of Europe. I ended the day with a visit to the US cemetery. There, 10,000 US soldiers lay at rest. At the monument at the cemetery are the names of those who were never found.
I met French, Dutch, English, Spanish and more all paying their respects. May we never forget the greatest generation in modern history.

Memorial Day 2021 Attendees and Speakers: 1
It felt good to be back taking photos. I hadn't hardly touched a camera in the last 18 months. And it was a great motivating experience to attend the service.
Meet our County Sheriff: Jim (Sorry if you go by James, I took a liberty there!) I had a wonderful conversation with Jim before the service. And I made a point to thank him after the service for the wonderful job he did as the featured speaker.
It was very nice meeting you, Sir!
