So very sad that there are wars. If there is anything I would come near to hating it would be war. In my opinion we can never honor and show respect enough to those who go to war to help keep us all safe and free. These pictures are fantastic! Hugs
It is very sad Mumsy.
We can never really give enough thanks to the people who have given their lives for our freedom.
They will always be remembered.
A big Salute to those brave, fallen patriots! God Bless them and their families. While not Georgians, we honor these brave ppl who fought for freedom and paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Thank you Chuck.
Looks like it was a lovely ceremony.
2008 is not long time ago…….only 4years has passed… Georgia looks very peaceful country now but has very sad experiences in past….those number of people who lost their precious lives are quite huge…very sad….
