Taps. An American flag beside a tombstone in a small-town cemetery. An old photograph of a boy in uniform. The laughter of those lost to war, now lost to living memory.

On Memorial Day, we pay homage to those who gave their lives for their country. Whether it’s with a grand ceremony in Arlington Cemetery or a simple visit to an ancestor’s grave in a churchyard, we pay due respect to the dead of war.
