Winchester, Virginia
It's Memorial Day Weekend and a display in front of Handley High School
honors fallen soldiers with a "Healing Field of Honor."
The Rotary Club offered to "Honor a loved one" with your flag purchase. Names of those honored were affixed to the flag poles.

I noticed that a historical marker was across the street for the First Battle of Winchester. It marks a Civil War battlefield from May 1862. A Federal Army commanded by Major General Banks was routed here by Stonewall Jackson's army.
I usually post a church for Inspired Sunday and I found one nearby. This is the Winchester Seventh Day Adventist Church.
Um belo memorial.

ReplyDeleteI live near a Veterans Cemetery, and when I drove by the other day, saw all the flags which had been placed by each marker. Stunning. That's a beautiful church photo.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully documented.

ReplyDeleteLinda I enjoy your daily photos and have followed you for quite a while. I was thinking about my father on Memorial Day .. he was a veteran, happens to be resting at Arlington National Cemetery but is a Winchester native and a graduate of Handley High School so to see the photo of the school with the flags in the foreground.. I felt as though he was communicating with me. Thank you
