Memorial Day

On Memorial Day we drove to a cemetery and war memorial owned by the United States that is located near Maastricht in the South part of Holland. It was raining and cold so Sister Everton wore her wool tights. By the time we got there which was a 2 hour drive it was sunny and warm.

This is the inscription on the memorial. There are flags for each state on each side of the reflecting pond.


Our mission president placed a wreath for our church as part of the ceremony. At the end of the ceremony four fighter jets flew over in the missing man formation.

The memorial is surrounded by graves of the fallen.
