Daytime

My sister & I decided to go out late one September evening last year & drive thru this cemetery.  It was cool & hazy and the mist had risen so we'd kind of freaked ourselves out.  We got to the back of the cemetery, which is long & narrow with only one defined road in & out, and stopped to look & listen  Just then the low fuel alarm on the car decided to go off and made us both jump & scream a little - LOL!  So as we turned around, the car's headlights shone on this stone & I had to get a picture!

Special thanks to whomever it was who added all the military info into FindaGrave for these veterans!

Countdown to Halloween
