Memorial Day 2009 was a gloriously sunshine filled day and I chose to visit the Idaho Veteran's Cemetery to pay homage to those who have served our country.Idaho was one of the last states to set aside land for a veteran's cemetery. Since its opening on Jul 31, 2004 and the first interment on Aug 30, 2004 it has become a very active cemetery.
The ceremony attracted some 500 plus people and was conducted on top of a hill which provides a 360 degree panorama of The Treasure Valley and beyond.
The cemetery is open seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to sunset. I certainly recommend taking the time to walk the grounds and pay tribute to those men and women who have given so much to our country.
I have included several images I captured that morning and would like to share them with you.
