FORT SNELLING

I have a grandfather, two uncles, and one aunt buried at the Fort Snelling National Cementary; my father, a WWII vet, chose to be buried in his hometown cemetary next to other family members.

One cannot help but be struck and in awe of all the white headstones representing those who served our country and helped make it the great country that it is today.

Sadly, at times I feel that it is slipping through our fingertips. Have their efforts been in vain?
