For those who celebrate Memorial Day in the US.... We have a lot of gifts given to us through the sacrifice of others--the biggest of all being the freedom we enjoy. Please take a moment this weekend to give thanks to anyone you know who has served or is currently in the military. Please stay safe and Don't Drink and Drive! Happy Memorial Day! ![]() ![]() |

Some days ago, I went to make my annual pilgrimage to the Epinal American Cemetery and Memorial with two friends. Here are two photos of this pilgrimage. It's me on the first photo, in full meditation. All my respect to every brave US soldiers. Happy Memorial Day to all ! I want to remind that this year we will celebrate the 70th anniversary of D-Day (1944-2014). Photo credit : Nicolas Boucard - 05-13-2014 ![]() ![]() |

Thomas, that is a super picture of the regular grid of crosses in the cemetery. As a contrast, here is the Ridge Wood Military Cemetery near Ypres which I visited recently. This was a front-line cemetery used by various units during the First World War. The graves were not lined up in the same planned way: ![]() Click the image for higher resolution versions. |
