Title: Memorial Day 2011 at Plains Cemetery
Post by: MikeF9 on May 30, 2011, 02:31:14 PM

Margie and I always go up on Memorial Day and put geraniums out on the headstones of our parents and grandparents.
Mom's father, Karl Gerstenberg, was in the army when World War I broke out, and fought the Germans in the fields of France. Before the war, he was in the Cavalry down in Texas, and was personal clerk to General Pershing when the US Army was trying to apprehend Pancho Villa.
When we go up, I always try to get some shots of the new flags flying near the headstones. This year I got a couple pictures from the old section of the cemetery.
