Memorial Day

As this holiday for remembering and honoring our nation's fallen soldiers approaches, I wanted to share these photographs of a couple areas in Evergreen cemetery in Southgate Kentucky. One of them is the plot where over 70 Union veterans of the Civil War are buried (this plot is the background image for this blog), while another is a military section with soldiers from various wars buried there. I have also included a picture of Battery Shaler, a Civil War battery located in Evergreen Cemetery as well as one soldier who actually served at that battery during the war. His is a story I will tell in the future.

Thank you, and rest in peace, soldiers.
