A morning well spent in the rain........
The National Cemetery in Leavenworth KS was a beautiful place to spend a couple of hours in this morning.
In a town of 35,000 people, over 1000 showed up in the rain to place flags on the 36,000+ graves of vets buried here.
The ritual was to clearly state the name, rank and war of those buried while placing a flag on the right hand corner of the grave.
It was impressive.
