Here in the US we are honoring the lives that have been lost of those in the military service. This has always been a pretty important time for me.
Four years ago, I was able to attend a Memorial Day at a cemetery in Virginia and it was pretty special. The sound of Taps being played by a lone bugle is pretty moving.
I have lost a lost a lot of close friends and this weekend is dedicated to their memory. They are gone, but not forgotten.
