Photos of Memorial Day ceremony at Fort Rosecrans.
Today there was a moving Memorial Day ceremony at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. I attended.
Here are some photos. Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, located on Point Loma high above the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay, is the final resting place of thousands of American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines, and their families, who served their country with courage and honor. Many who are buried in this hallowed place fought in different conflicts spanning our nation’s history, right up to the present-day War on Terrorism. Because of its amazing natural setting, many say Fort Rosecrans is more beautiful than even Arlington or Normandy. As you can see, it’s a special place.

I am always amazed at the kindness of strangers to place a flag at the grave of fallen heroes en masse.
Many people young and old came out early in the morning to place thousands of roses. I saw on the television news that some active military even marched 14 miles up from the South Bay to participate. I believe Boy Scouts placed the flags a few days ago.
