Memorial Day.....

Almost every year I paste this about the American Cemetery in Florence.
...living on a US army base about an hour from Florence my elementary school would go put flags and red poppies on all the graves...the place was unreal to us...the crosses were lined up so straight...I can remember the kool aid was warm and never had enough sugar...when lunch came....we spent a few hours there every memorial day.. took the 90 minute bus ride from Camp Darby in Livorno....it's a nice place to visit yet no tour buses every stop on the way to Florence...some tour buses will mention " if you look on the right or left there is an American cemetery"....and the irony is those 4,500 US soldiers gave up their lives for the right for those people to tour....anyway if my paste doesn't work can someone be kind enough to fix it....thank you and have a safe memorial day...

Thanks Box you are correct about tour buses, we were in Florence don't even remember if they even mentioned it. I don't know if it's anywhere off the highway coming in from Pisa but for sure not a word on that bus.
