Memorial Day

[Erik Sine]

My family and I went and started Memorial Day Early on Sunday. Monday is usually a very busy here in San Diego and hectic day let alone trying to find parking at most of the cemeteries.

Sunday we visited a few cemeteries where our family members who are veterans are buried, either died of old age or died in war. This is one of the most beautiful cemeteries I have ever been to, and I've only been to very few, but it's more of a military cemetery/memorial park is here in San Diego Point Loma. I think this is where they filmed part of Saving Private Ryan.

Anyway, Thought I'd share a few pics. We always try to come out to visit a few times a year.

Check out this guy, don't know him but he's real close to where one of my uncles is buried. This guy was in three wars, The Spanish American War, WW I & WWII!

Have to love the view of the San Diego Bay with the Memorial Park

This is the ocean front

You can hear the surf brealing on the cliffs from here

In some ways it's sad and depressing to visit this place, but in a lot more ways I also feel very proud, and very appreciative. There is always that sense of walking through sacred and holy ground.

Hope everyone had a safe and fun Memorial Day Weekend.

Nice pics --- too bad our senators, representatives, President, etc don't spend alot of time at military gravesites and ponder their decisions they make for us ----------------
