Today is Armed Forces Day so my sister and I went to Riverside National Cemetery. She is not a graveyard lover, although I keep trying to turn her into one. We had planned to walk around the cemetery to get our exercise but it was so hot we drove around and just kept getting in and out of the car to take pictures.
We also went across the way to visit the March Airforce Base Museum. I always wanted to see the War Dog Memorial.
Then the real reason we went to the cemetery is I was reading the Roll Call. Starting today, every hour, twentyfour hours a day, they will read the names of veterans until Memorial Day. All I can say is what an honor!!

Congratulations, Diane! What an honor! I've been to both of those places and we had to pull my grandson away from the museum kicking and screaming! What a wonderful place!
How did you get chosen to read the names???
