Welcome to Ruby Tuesday! Hope you'll join us!
This week was supposed to be red signs, but due to the weather I haven't been able to get out to look for some. So, I thought each of these were signs in their own way.
A Ruby Red Christmas tribute to the men who have given their lives for our country. A friend of mine sent me this photo. I thought it was a good time/place to share it.
Rest easy, sleep well my brothers.
Know the line has held, your job is done.
Rest easy, sleep well.
Others have taken up where you fell, the line has held.
Peace, peace, and farewell...

Beautiful tribute!
that's quite a scene...nice that someone does that yearly...
I don't often enjoy tears. But, these felt good. They fell gently on my heart as they rolled down my cheeks.
What a lovely tribute! Such tender and true words.
Thank you Sylvia.
Great tribute to those who had given their lives. Thanks for your visit.
A wonderful tribute!
Great Tribute. I remember when I went to Arlington Cemetry and it hit home to me how many brave and beautiful people gave up their lives for their country. Everyone needs to see this - it hits you right between the eyes and through the heart. What a waste of young lives and how many families were impacted forever.
Seeing all of those gravesites makes me sad. But also for the loved ones left behind grieving the loss of a loved one. I lost a 21 year old brother in the Navy when I was 17. Probably the reason for my perspective about the family. Now there is even more war than a week ago. God help us all.
That is powerful and humbling.
That's a sobering reminder of the cost of freedom.
Excellent photo and words, Sylvia.
Awesome tribute!
So glad you shared this with us.
So touching.
So well organised. :)
Happy RT.
Wow how beautiful that is. Thanks for sharing it!!
not many make me get misty, your post is perfect. I do appreciate it.
Lovely photo and poem. Hopefully we will stop needing such graves and such poems.
Wow ~ that's an amazing tribute!
A moving and beautiful tribute.
May they rest in peace,
and may we learn the lessons that they would have us know...
Peace and love to you my friend,
Maithri
Sad and sobering and lovely. We ask some to pay a high price.
that gives me the chills ...
AMAZING! I love this shot! My favorite of the day.
What a dramatic photo!
Sylvia, this is as beautiful as it is terrible.
Someone did as nice a job producing that image as you did bringing it to us.
Poignant tribute ... lovely poem and memorable image.
Hugs and blessings,
