Memorial Day

It’s not quite here yet, but people are putting flags and flowers on graves all across America. This beautiful picture showed up on Yahoo News Photos this afternoon. Eleven year old Thomas McGahan, a Boy Scout, and his Cub Scout brother Nicholas, of Northport, N.Y., place flags on graves at the Long Island National Cemetery. Click to enlarge:

UPDATE: Austin Bay gave a speech at the Travis County International Cemetery, at the invitation of Tejanos In Action.
