Clear weather and a good location on the western slope allowed me to return to Grand Junction for a day of goofing off. I let Jax spend the day with his buddies at Wag Resort while I went to explore the town. Something I really didn’t have much time for while here for my three days of training. It was a lovely day of down time, and the most touching place I happened upon was a Veterans’ Cemetery. I’m not sure if you’ve ever walked through a cemetery, but it’s one of my favorite places to wander. So peaceful. I enjoy reading the headstones, and the sentiments expressed for loved ones who’ve passed on. I often think of what I’d like my own to say…but then that’s not for me to choose, is it😊.
This cemetery was especially meaningful, coming so close on the heels of our Beaches of Normandy tour.
The Sentry. His salute is toward the final resting places of those who served.
Every headstone has a beautiful wreath adorning it, and it brought to mind the people of Normandy who faithfully tend to the graves of our American soldiers.
All branches are covered. 💕
And many wars…
Well done, Grand Junction💕🙏.
