Riverside National Cemetery -- Remember Our Heroes

[Joshjames1234]

Over eight days, the names of the more than 148,000 service members buried at Riverside National Cemetery were read in their honor. Day and night, for 24 hours a day, their names were read.

My family and I was given the wonderful opportunity to participate on May 23rd, 2009, from about 8:45pm to 10:00pm.

About 21 people are buried there a day. It was opened in 1976.

That's awesome. This is why Memorial Day is one of my favorite holidays.

Memorial Day roll call honors 148,000 veterans <br />
<br />
The names are whisked away by the hot, gusting wind as soon as they are spoken, forgotten in the stream of the next name and the next name...
