Memorial Day evening we drove to Georgia's National Cemetery to honor those that served. The cemetery just opened a few months ago and it's on a beautiful piece of property. It's at the top of a hill, along a part of Lake Allatoona, overlooking the mountains. Brad and I remember going to this property a few years back wondering what they were going to put there. What a gorgeous piece of land to honor our soldiers!
This was the road going into the cemetery - lined with flags on both sides - really sharp.
Once we arrived at the top of the property, it was actually really sad because there were several plots of land already "reserved" where future soldiers will be laid to rest. Just seeing the flat, open green space, knowing that some day, that open space will be filled with headstones, really feels you with pride to be an American and makes you appreciate the sacrifice of our military.
