In Honor of 3 the veterans in my family

Happy Memorial Day its time we get back to the "true meaning" of this day it isn't about the parties, boating etc.

I have family members that are veterans from the very first war (not WW1) the very first war.  I think the French Revaluation (sorry my memory isn't the best)   

These 3 are the only ones I could get yesterday (I drove 3 hrs each way to get these)

This top one is the entrance caught the flags all flying


Gators headstone,  I put the pennies there (it shows somebody visited)   His headstone   says Gary Alexander, EORC (His rank) Persian Gulf  (where he served) dob dod and the bottom says,  "gator husband of  Regina <that's me   Funny the middle penny is a 67 same as me I didn't plan that  I just grabbed some pennies and put them on it
