My Grandson spent the night, so early this morning we went to Cedar Hill Cemetery and said thank you to some Confederate soldiers, My Grandson J.C. is five, kinda young for a history lesson,
but I don't think too young.
Our first visit was to Mr Darden --
I've visited him before ---
But today we left him a new coin and Flag,
I was happy to see the coin I placed last time was still there.
Then we stopped by to see the Tom Smith monument,
J.C. Carried the flag and coin --
J.C. Placed a flag
Posed for a picture
Then placed a Remember coin !
Our last stop was at Mr Turnley's resting spot
He got a new flag and a new coin also --
I told my Grandson about the men we had visited and why we gave them Flag's and Coins,
I think he understood as well as a five year old could.
Now if I could just get the "Floggers" to understand half as good as J.C. did !
Well done, both of you!
