Memorial Day tributes… honoring the fallen

This vintage typwriter is our featured image.

They say a picture says a thousand words.

With that in mind, I’m taking a break from writing about animals and legal issues to share some of my favorite photographs from the last two Memorial Day parades I attended as a resident of Warrenton,  Virginia.

I hope you enjoy these images and that, as we all return to work after the long holiday weekend, they serve as an ongoing reminder of what is truly important…
