forest lawn cemetery

each memorial day we wake up early and head to forest lawn cemetery in buffalo.

this is a beautiful cemetery where some famous people are buried.

president millard fillmore

rick james (of super freak fame)

kristen pfaff (bass guitarist for hole)

sara hinson (founder of flag day)

among others.

 many of the people buried here are not famous, but they served our country and many died while doing so. 

these are the people we come to commemorate each year. 

it's a beautiful sight to see, once all the flags are posted at each grave.

 we usually meet up with friends and work together.

we are grateful for the truly brave men and women who serve our country throughout the world.
