I thought I had written my last post from Florence but today I went to the Florence American Cemetery and Memorial, the military cemetery just outside Florence and I want to show it to you. it's beautiful as are all the military cemeteries I've visited and so sad to think of the young men and women who lie in these consecrated grounds. as I walked through there were 5 men cleaning up the autumn leaves and trimming the grass and I thought "a truly good use of our tax dollars to honor these heroes". the short video on this website is well done and informative.
