Memorial Day 2019

Military funerals are a common sight around the Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio.  Many times the San Antonio Patriot Guard Riders are there to escort both those who have died on active duty and veterans.

Requiem for a Soldier

Mansions of the Lord

The procession is always a special event like having our local version of Rolling Thunder.



 


Forming a wall of flags around the family is part of the service.



As you enjoy your Memorial Day holiday and our freedoms take a few moments to remember the service of so many who sacrificed.
