happy Independence Day!!!
i cannot properly express my gratitude for all of those who have fought, bled, and died for my freedom.

there she stands

a memorial street that went on for miles somewhere in AL

one of the many fields of graves in arlington national cemetery. so many brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

tomb of the unknown soldier - "here rests in honored glory an american soldier known but to god"

"beneath this stone repose the bones of two thousand one hundred and eleven unknown soldiers gathered after the war from the fields of bull run and the route to the rappahannock. their remains could not be identified, but their names and deaths are recorded in the archives of their country. and its grateful citizens honor them as of their noble army of martyrs. may they rest in peace. september, a.d. 1866"
