Memorial Day

Our family has a tradition of getting together every Memorial Day at the City of Mesa cemetary to visit the gravesites of those that have passed on before us. It has always been so early in the morning because it's so hot this time of year but this year it was cool and so we went around 8:00 instead of 6:00. We always visit my great uncle Johnny Stradlings grave. He was killed in World War II when he was 21. We also visit my grandma and uncles graves as well. Afterwards we have breakfast together at my parents house. So here are some pictures....
