Have you hugged a veteran today?

Happy Veterans day!

As a Cemetery board member, Gunnar had the privilege of being part of the Valley Center Cemetery ceremony honoring the veterans this morning. His dad drove up from Alpine to join us at the ceremony.

After the ceremony Grace and I spent a long time walking around the cemetery looking at the tombstones. Something about cemeteries is fascinating to me. Valley Center actually has 6 civil war veterans burried here. There are so many stories, it makes you wonder who they were and how they lived their lives. I took a bunch of pictures, but here were two of my favorite tombstones.
