| 7th Volunteer Company, Union Army Civil War Re-Enactment at our Historical Village Saturday May, 24 2015 |
750,000 died in that war, the most in any of America's history. In 1971 the last Monday of May was dedicated as Memorial Day to honor the dead from all wars.
That war is sometimes called the American Apocalypse
Today we honor the fallen
This is a Link to United States military Casualties since The American Revolution, and the numbers are staggering.
And since only the dead have seen the end of war, the numbers continue to climb. God Bless our Soldiers

I love both pictures. But the first one is amazing to me, so classy, so professional. I love the black and white, the way the light is, and just a touch or suggestion of red in the flag. Recently, your creativity is just off the charts!
Men do not learn any lessons from war, except strategies to fight bigger, badder, stronger.
I love that top shot- nice editing!
I also love the first shot with the toned down colors.

It is a sad quote from Plato but oh so true. Wars are still going on and on. Why can't we have a harmonious world??
I, too, love your edits this morning.
Nice memorial.
I missed you, Sandra but...I'm back, now!

I saw that Plato quote yesterday and almost used it. It's true and so very sad.
I like how you did the selective color in the first picture.
Have a happy Memorial Day
We should never fail to remember the ravages of wars, especially in the toll of human life. This was a nice tribute, Sandra.
We should remember our heroes and loved ones. But that does not change that I hate war and I wish for peace! The Plato quote is very sad but true. Great post and tribute for Memorial Day!
Have a happy Memorial Day and new week ahead!
Plato knew what he was talking about, didn't he? Happy Memorial Day!
A poignant post Sandra and Plato's quote was profound.
MS AS ALWAYS YOU DO THE MOST WONDERFUL PRESENTATIONS OF OUR FLAG AND SOLDIERS
MOM AND I LOVED YOUR EARLY A.M. POEM
HUGS MADI AND MOM
powerful statement: only the dead have seen the end of war.
God bless them indeed. Thank you for this post.
Lovely post. God Bless America and thank you to those who have given their lives for our freedom.
Pretty pics but the quote is sadly true. Nice they reenact the civil war and remember all the ones we lost in it
Lovely Post Sandra.
Absolutely beautiful post! Your photos are wonderful!
Happy Memorial Day!
Wow, that really makes one think, doesn't it! Good post. That first photo is gorgeous.
It is so sad but true that there will always be wars...there is always someone wanting to annihilate another race, another group of people, another way of life. I thank God there are people willing to give up their life to keep us safe.
A wonderful Memorial Day post, Sandra.
