Today Is Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day

Different culture, Similar emotion

Yesterday I created a slideshow One Word One Moment for China 3-day mourning for the Sichuan victims. Today is Memorial Day in United State. I stay at office for whole day. I collected some related photos to created this slideshow.

In fact, I found some photos which were taken at Sam Houston Park. I am living in this city. It seems I attended the event.
