Memorial Day

Today we honor those who died in battle in all our wars in order that we enjoy today's freedoms.  Below is the grave of Illinois farmer Carlos W. Colby who received the Congressional Medal of Honor during the American Civil War.  He is buried along with his wife and a daughter at Cress Hill Cemetery near Hillsboro, IL.  Enjoy the BBQ, enjoy the races, enjoy the ball games, and remember the cost that allows us to do so.  No blog tomorrow.
