Gettin' Down with the Dead

Before Merritt's mom left us in early February, we all took a trip to Luxembourg and St. Avold American Cemeteries.The day we went was very cold and all of us were bundled up tight. Aryka kept trying to take off her coat and Merritt kept having to put it back on her. Rulon understood the solemnity of where he was and showed proper respect and decorum. Or... he was really bored. The graves that probably affected our family the most were the unknowns.
At St. Avold, we got there near closing and we were able to help with retiring the flags.
It was the best experience our family has had and we plan on going back soon.
