Memorial Day photo album

Jacksonville is a military town. It takes great pride in celebrating the accomplishments and sacrifices of the men and women in uniform and their families. Today, four servicemen were enshrined on Jacksonville's Veteran's Memorial Wall, the largest in the nation outside of Washington D.C. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families.

The following photos are not meant to represent the events at the ceremony today, but as an album of our family's remembrance of Memorial Day 2008.
