Salt Lake Christmas Tour Week Peek #26

Anybody care to guess what and where this is? This is a close-up of the building blocks of the Tabernacle on Temple Square. So why am I using such a simple (corny?) photo today? Heck, no good reason………… I just liked the photo. I’m a “rock person” remember.

Thinking of Memorial Day just past, I got to wondering about the history of this special day. Doing a Google search, I found this website http://www.usmemorialday.org/backgrnd.html . I learned that Memorial Day was initially called Decoration Day and was a day to visit the cemeteries and gravesites of deceased loved ones and pause to remember them. The day has taken on greater meaning to remember our military heroes who died serving us.

Did you know that more men were killed in the Civil War than World War I and World War II put together? And again (Google searching) America has lost close to 2,000,000 (TWO MILLION) men since the Revolutionary War. There is so much I could go on and on and on about here but suffice to say I think America is a great country to have produced so many men who would fight and die solely for their freedom, their families and their country………. not for some radical ideology.

America is truly as strong as the granite-block walls of the Tabernacle on Temple Square. And I am proud and glad.
