Florida National Cemetery

It is very humbling to walk amoungst the countless resting places of soldiers. The quiet, the names, the dates, the wars -- I'd only turned off the road to drive through and see what it was like, but found myself transfixed by the endless sea of white markers and had to walk around. This is Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell.

There were many visitors there, quietly paying their respects to family members and fathers, friends and relatives. In the distance, a shining, moving object caught my eye. Approaching, I never thought that in such a sacred place I would see something that would break the solemn air and make me smile, but I did.

PFC Richard Ray Nelson, I'll be sure to have a cold one for you.
