“A ceremony was held at St. Paul’s Church today, with soldiers in uniform putting American flags on some of the graves. There were bagpipes playing. At first thought, it was sad but then, I thought of it as an honor, that they gave their lives, their biggest sacrifice for our safety. We need to send those serving today our prayers and love.”
