Memorial Day

I watched the National Memorial Day Concert http://www.pbs.org/national-memorial-day-concert/home/ on PBS tonight.  This was a very good but very emotional event.  The stories of surviving families, and veterans who survived or died in service were shared.  There was good music, appropriate patriotic music, and the rendition of the Services Medley always hits me hard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L9g1n25HdY.

So, I cried through much of this concert.  And, I had cried through much of the movie I saw earlier today.  My jaw was very sore by the end of the concert, a function of how I hold my mouth while I cry.

The tears are sad, happy, proud.
