Before we headed back home to Atlanta today, we took some time to visit my father’s grave in Bonaventure Cemetery near Savannah’s Wilmington River. It’s often difficult to do, but I nevertheless find it reassuring to be close to Dad’s final resting place. It is so peaceful, and his namesake grandson likes making this trip as well.

It being Memorial Day as well, the flags were in full swing across the cemetery. Sam admires a flag in a plot near Dad’s:

In the images below, flags fly in the Veterans of World Wars section:
