Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

Wreaths for each grave

 I don't know if I have anyone I knew or am related to in this Veterans' Cemetery in Black Mountain NC. But I saw a photo of a convoy of semi trucks full of wreaths to be placed on veterans' graves. So I wanted to see them following my appointment across the street.







 I don't know why some graves have stones, and some have flat stones, and even some have little metal markers.


 But even the flat stone grave markers each had a wreath placed next to it.


 It's sobering to see so many men and women's graves who served in our military forces.

    ...we have a nearby Veterans Cemetery and they are lucky to be able to cut the grass, a nice reminder.

    It looks like a very peaceful place for a cemetery.
