The grounds are beautiful... but I'm always saddened to see all the loss of life. I wonder what those hero's last moments were like... and nothing can make that right! Not even the most amazing monuments.
A number of years ago I went to a war hero's cemetery (like this one) in San Francisco. All those white crosses and American Flags left me appreciating that there were people willing to give up their lives for others way of life... but I also couldn't shake the feeling of sadness that these lives were snuffed out and probably at a very young age. That feeling sort of sticks to you...
I don't know if you understand what I'm saying here... But these sky view pictures brought these thoughts to the surface and I thought I would share.
I'm curious why you decided to post this on your blog Anthony... Does this cemetery have any significant or personal meaning to you?
Sincerely,
