A Very Special Christmas Day...

This Christmas was the first Christmas that my family has experienced without either of my parents being alive - so I decided to spend my Christmas Day doing something a bit different from all the others and now I can finally share it with you...











...and wish you all a belated Merry Christmas...

Sacramento Valley National Cemetery

I spent some time at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery this week. It is one of the newer national cemeteries maintained by the Dept of Veterans Affairs. (It is listed at the 124th cemetery out of a total of 131 cemeteries.)

I found the cemetery to be a peaceful spot to be when there was not a memorial service in process.

The VA provides an online grave site locator if you would like to visit a burial site of a veteran.

 You can find that service at this link.  

I want to thank all of the Veterans who may already be at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery along with those who have the option to be placed there.  Your service to the country means a lot to me.
