Day 40

Day 40 - Memorial Day

This evening I visited the Northwood Gratitude and Honor Memorial.  This memorial honors American soldiers who lost their lives fighting in the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  It is currently the only known permanent memorial for those who were killed in those conflicts. The memorial lists the names and ages of the thousands of men and women who died for our country in the past several years.  Most of those listed were under the age of 25.   It is astonishing to see the amount of men and women in my generation who have died in these wars.  For those who live in the area, I recommend you visit it.  For more information, visit their website.
