Happy Memorial Day! Today is the day when we remember those veterans, past and present who sacrificed for us to protect our way of life. In honor of my great grandfather who fought in the Civil War, I present today's image to you. This shot of the graves of Civil War Veterans was taken in the Mountain Grove Cemetery in Bridgeport. Eugene Clydon Alderman and his wife Ellen Holmes Alderman are buried in Forestdale cemetery in Massachusetts. Thanks to my cousin, Judi Heit (a Holmes family researcher) I now know a lot more about my family background. Ironically, great grandfather survived the Civil War but died when he was 75 years old when he fell out of an apple tree he was trimming. I will post again later today with a picture of my Dad who was a World War II veteran.
