If you missed my blog post talking about our recent trip to the beach, click
HERE. In that post, I talked a lot about our wonderful experiences at the Sunset Beach Town Park (Sunset Beach, NC). We fell totally in love with that amazing little park.
One special part of the park was a fantastic monument honoring all Veterans... George and I are both EXTREMELY patriotic---so we enjoyed that monument each time we were at the park. Being there truly brought tears to my eyes.
Today I'll honor our Veterans on Memorial Day by sharing more pictures of the monument. Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoy sharing them.

| We didn't know why the flag was at half-staff one day when we were there. |
 |
| Can you tell how much we love that park? Not only did I enjoy the monument --but I also enjoyed all of the big trees. |
 |
| Tributes to loved ones (probably from the Sunset Beach and surrounding community residents) were listed throughout the monument area |
 |
| I love this picture of George paying homage to the flag--and to our Veterans. |
 |
| Here's one last picture of the entire monument. George took this one from another angle --when the flag was "perfectly" blowing in the wind. |
Happy Memorial Day to ALL... Let's never forget what these brave people did for US and for our FREEDOMS... God Bless them ALL --and God Bless America.
Hugs,

Your post is a wonderful tribute to the Veterans Betsy.
This is wonderful.
In our walking park we have bricks much like this with veterans names and branches.
Betsy, Nice tribute! We like driving through small town America on Memorial Day weekend and viewing all the memorials and events being staged. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
What a beautiful tribute Betsy! Happy Memorial Day, and God bless!
Very apt post for Memorial Day.
What a brilliant and moving monument. The artist should be commended for the powerful statement. Loved the shots of you and George showing your respect.
God bless America and those who gave all for our freedom.

Hi Betsy! Thats a nice park and i enjoyed this post. You are welcome about the email thing---i didnt even know what that was!!--ha ha ha lol so now i guess i have it. It was hot and rainy Here today and our plants/flowers/seeds are loving it. How are all your pretty flowers doing?
What a wonderful way for you and George to celebrate this important day, Betsy.
A very nice tribute. My father's name and rank is on a paving stone in Anthem,AZ where my brother lives. Those types of tributes are very moving.
We are off tomorrow on a trip to Europe including a river cruise. When we return we will have 10 days to the big move date! We planned this trip a year ago with my brother and sister in law. It has come and just the right time. How did we know that since moving wasn't in the picture then.
Thank you for sharing more of the park and the monument. I appreciate the wonderful photos you and George share on your blogs. Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment and I hope George's eye treatment next week that you mentioned goes well.
Such a wonderful tribute, and so timely! How wonderful that this awesome memorial was at the new park you found. Love the sculpture of the children saluting the flag, and your pictures are great!
Hey there......this is a great tribute to our soldiers. You know how much I enjoyed the picture of you there with the two kids. Gave me a big smile! Hugs
I love these photos and reading about all of your journeys! I am off of FB for now and back on blogger with a new blog @ imdowntown365.blogspot.com. I'll see you again soon!

Hi Betsy - Yes, this is off topic, but yes, I have dropped FB for now. Just weary of it, the negative posts, the half-truths, the sparring that people engage in that is truly not worth it. I may go back in time. In the meantime, I'm back to blogging - getting used to the controls, but it will be fun!
Hi Betsy, Very beautiful park and monument area. I have never visited that place. Thanks for sharing it. I hope you both had a great Memorial Day. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
What a nice monument!

Betsy, that is a neat monument and a pretty park. I enjoyed your pictures!
