A sea of flags and flowers spread across the cemetery is a vivid reminder of the reason for Memorial Day. It has nothing to do with a day off from work, picnics, or fireworks. The day is meant to solemnly remember those who gave their lives for our country. Each one was a beloved son, daughter, parent, or friend and they shall never be forgotten.

This is another favorite image from the World War II Weekend in Reading, Pa. last month. All of the participants in the re-enactment were “in character” throughout the day. It was so much fun to photograph!

This is a scene from the World War II reenactment last month in Reading, Pa. Cafe patrons cover their ears while gunfire erupts outside … somewhere in Europe during WWII.

I really enjoyed watching these pilots in their restored planes take to the sky during the World War II event in Reading, Pa. this past weekend. It was amazing to see them fly in formation and doing aerial acrobatics that scared the beejeebees out of me! I remember speaking with one Veteran from WWII about the planes we were watching and asking what protection they have from falling out as the planes dipped and flew upside down. Apparently it’s nothing more than a seat belt! Yipes!!!
