Freedom is bought in blood, sweat and tears by the generations that came before us. For that we are eternally grateful. 💜

Thank you for those that served our country. Prayers for the many lives lost, that passed away for our freedom. Prayers for the ones that are serving and ones that have served.

It's sad that we have more respect for the dead and unborn, than we do the living.

When I'm there visiting my husband, a crow is over me in the tree skwaking and he didn't disappoint this time either.

[maryannkochanski]

When I’ve been there a part of me is taken away and is replaced with a solemn peace that I have never felt anywhere else except Cullpepper Cemetery!

[alexthompson]

I guess that's what they mean by 'rest in peace.'

[chrishaynes]

I hope to make it to Arlington and the Wall someday

*do you people realize how sacrilegious this place is?...* a church... is a gathering place... and religion... is just some verbiage being repeated over and over and over again... under those definitions... a football game is a religious event...
*religion (n.)*
Origin and meaning of religion
-c. 1200, religioun, "state of life bound by monastic vows, " also "action or conduct indicating a belief in a divine power and reverence for and desire to please it, " from Anglo-French religiun (11c.), Old French religion, relegion "piety, devotion; religious community, " and directly from Latin religionem (nominative religio) "respect for what is sacred, reverence for the gods; conscientiousness, sense of right, moral obligation; fear of the gods; divine service, religious observance; a religion, a faith, a mode of worship, cult; sanctity, holiness, " in Late Latin "monastic life" (5c.).-
This noun of action was derived by Cicero from relegere "go through again" (in reading or in thought), from re- "again" (see re-) + legere "read" (see lecture (n.))
