Wishing all fellow NGers a very safe and happy Memorial Day.
I'm a young adult living with Asperger's. I'm a hybrid of a gamer and an artist. I alternate between playing video games and drawing art. I have too many interests to list. :3

Memorial Day 2017
Comments
It is important to honor the fallen, who gave their lives then, so that US citizens can rest easy today.
Too few prioritize remebrance these days.
I visited Arlington National Cemetary in October 2015. Took the metro there, went to the Kennedy family tomb, then the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier. I was fortunate enough to witness a veteran ensemble.
A group of 12-15 old men, in wheelchairs for the most part, sat and watched the "ritual" of the flower decoration placement. All the spectators around, end everyone else, was completely silent.
I then walked out of the south exit, and to the Pentagon a short walk from there. Gazed upon the 9/11 monument, then went to the Theodore Roosevelt Island in the Potomac.
Anyway, thoughtful Memorial Day to you, too!
Cool, thanks!
thanks it is good
