Memorial Day Thoughts

Hey everyone-Happy Tablescape Thursday! I hope you all have fun plans for Memorial Day Weekend full of good friends, family and great food!
It's a day of celebration but also a day of remembrance, respect and gratitude.

Memorial Day: Commemorates US Soldiers who died while in the military service, in all wars.
I like the detailing on the clear bowl and think the angel holding the heart suits the occasion.
From an Air Force Veteran to all those serving or who have served, "thank you".
Fly your flags proudly!

As we enjoy Tablescape Thursday:
On the Thursday before Memorial Day, soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry (The Old Guard) place small American flags at each of the more than 260,000 gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery. They patrol the cemetery 24 hours a day during the weekend to ensure that each flag remains standing.
Have a happy day:@)
