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 on a class trip...the place was unreal to us as 9 or 10 years olds...the crosses were lined up so straight...I can remember the kool aid was always warm and never enough sugar...when lunch came....we spent a few hours there every memorial day...it's a nice place to visit yet no tour buses every stop on the way to Florence...some tour guides will mention " if you look on the right or left their is an American cemetery". But no buses ever stop.....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..
