A place to reflect, remember and give respect. But it is much more. A graveyard is a place

life we have today. It is a place to never forget the bravery of those who will
never come home.

In our everyday lives we tend to forget those who died to allow us the freedom we now take for granted. A great reminder of their sacrifice and brilliant take on the prompt!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's sad that one day it may be forgotten. No one left now who fought in WW1. xxx
