         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
Monday, May 28, 2012:  It was Memorial Day.  A time to honor members of our armed services who fought and died for our country.

A huge flag hung from a ladder truck at the Brainerd Fire Department.
Ceremonies were held on the Laurel Street Bridge in Brainerd.
We salute these soldiers for their willingness to serve in times like this.
Emotions run high whenever a bugler plays taps. 

This man is Marty Judd, a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization. 

A parade headed to the north side of Brainerd led by a color guard.
Music was well done by high school students...they looked good too.
Ceremonies for many hundreds were held at Evergreen Cemetery in Brainerd.  
The keynote speaker was Congressman Chip Cravaack, who is a retired Navy pilot.  He was exceptionally well spoken about why Memorial Day is so important to everyone.
Evergreen Cemetery is a place to reflect on what others have done to make freedom possible for us.
Quote of the day:  Memorial Day is a day to remember.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
