Memorial Day Posts

Three items we wanted to share from the many Memorial Day stories and posts:

• Debra Bradley Ruder (from Growthhouse's Goodbyes blog ) shared an item from National Public Radio's StoryCorp series. You can listen here to David Shea tell about helping his father tend to gravesites on Memorial Day.
  
  
• Pallimed has launched two new blogs, one which focuses on the Arts & Humanities. Amber Wollensen, MD posted this item about the symbolism in graveyard art.
  
  
• Last, this video from ABC News from soldiers who tend the graves at Arlington National Cemetery and shows the solemnity and reverence the soldiers hold while placing flags at each gravesite.
