Memorial Day Luminary at the National Cemetery

Luminaria20014-01from Chris

If you’ve never before taken the time to visit the annual luminary event at Fredericksburg National Cemetery, do yourself a favor and make it a point to visit this year.

The annual tradition will be held this Saturday, May 28, from 8-11 p.m.

This will be the 21st anniversary of the Memorial Day Luminary, and it’s particularly special because this year marks the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the cemetery.

A host of volunteers offer short programs at a variety of tours stops over the course of the night (I’ll be there among them!). But most impressively, each grave will be marked by a pair of candles and a flag, set up by local Boy Scout troops. When lit up at night, the sight is soul-stirring.

It’s a wonderful way to remember those who gave their last full measure of devotion for our country.
