This Memorial Day finds me having taken not my usual one, but two, bouquets of flowers out to Tahoma National Cemetery. The first for my father who has been there since the cemetery opened in 1997 and the second for my husband who was just laid to rest in January. My 14-year-old granddaughter came with me and I was glad for the company. As I mentioned in a previous post, Tahoma is called the Arlington of the West and this weekend you can see why as it is a beautiful weekend and the flag plaza looks out over Mt Ranier. There are flags lining the whole avenue and the local junior high school has placed American flags at every single gravesite. It is truly a site to behold. Our heroes rest in peace in a place of beauty.
