Picture taken at the National Cemetery in Minneapolis , MN on a June morning - as it appeared in the Minneapolis Star/Tribune.
Talk about a picture being worth a thousand words! It says everything .
This could become an official Memorial Day, 4th of July and/or Veterans Day remembrance photo;

“Our symbol standing guard”.
