Wreath

From the Wreaths Across America ceremony.

Harold Eugene Zo served in the U. S. Army in the Korean "Conflict", our only war that was never officially declared as such. I've always felt that was unfair to the men and women who served there (my uncle being one of them). It was an honor to place a wreath on his grave and thank him for giving his all on behalf of my freedom.
I agree about the unfairness, I think you have done your bit in honouring them with a lovely photo publicly displayed.

I love the Korean War memorial because it seems to recognize the invisible ghastliness of service then

@mandygravil Thank you Mandy. It seems it is being remembered more as a reality (that it is a war) so I guess that is good. But technically, in our history books that is, it was never a war. Such is the way of "kings and princes" (in our case, the government!).

@pandorasecho Thank you Dixie- yes, I agree. We saw it at night and to this day, it is one of the most haunting images I've ever seen. And one I could clearly see as I placed this wreath on the grave.

@henrir Thank you Henri!
@salza Thank you Sally!
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!
@littleconnie Thank you Connie!
@randystreat Thank you Kathy! The whole cemetery was dotted with them- the pops of red and green did look very pretty against the snow.
@grammyn Thank you Katy!
