Memorial Day

.. 
Day is gone, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky; 

..

.

Gettysburg National Cemetery  

;...

All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

  Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial

..

..

 

Fading light, dims the sight,

And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright

..

..

National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific

..

..

  From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

 

Korean War Memorial

//

Thanks and praise, for our days,

’neath the sun, ‘neath the stars, ‘neath the sky;

..

.

Vietnam War Memorial

..

..

As we go, this we know, God is nigh.
