Today we celebrate Memorial Day 2023. Madison and I are the only flag holders in the family which works out well. We have one flag for the soldiers who gave their lives for our freedom and one for the K9’s who died for our freedom.
In our area, Fort Snelling National Cemetery is one of seven national cemeteries created between the world wars, 1934–1939, to increase the size of the national cemetery system. They hold a huge service to honor the fallen every Memorial day. Dogs are not allowed on the cemetery grounds, but Emma sneaked in back in 2015 and took this quick photo. Mom is not good about following rules sometimes.
While we celebrate with travel, grilling, family, and friends, always remember the reason why we are celebrating this day.

We salute all of our veterans. Have a wonderful Memorial Day!
Hope you and you Mom enjoy the holiday!
we wish all peeps and pets a good memorial day… and a super start into a really good summer..
We love the three day weekend 🙂
We always notice that the reason for this holiday is often forgotten. It is a day to remember the fallen in the wars of our country. (By the way, lest others confuse the days: Memorial Day is for the fallen; Veteran’s Day is for those that have served.) Just our soapbox.
Very true, the meaning is forgotten or not thought about by many this weekend.
You are the most adorable flag bearers I’ve ever seen.
Hugs Cecilia
Thank you. We try to look good.
I love people that don’t follow all the rules. Life would be so boring if we all walked in a straight line
Some rules should never be broken but many cause no harm if they are broken.
Some rules are there to be broken. What a beautiful post.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches all around and my best to your rule breaking mom. ♥
Thank you. As long as they are not dangerous to break, why not.
That’s a beautiful post you two, we’ll always remember.
Thank you.

We’ll never forget.
SO glad your mom is not a stickler for man imposed rules!
I remember the sacrifices made by so many. Thank you for also reminding us of our K9 heroes.
K9 heros are often overlooked but they should not be.
Well trained canines have always been an important part of our military and their work is appreciated by those who get to see them in action. They are as brave as the men and women who serve along side them. Have a blessed Memorial Day.
Military dogs are amazing, as are police and other security working dogs.
Happy memorial Day! We hope you guys had a ton o’fun! Keep being awesome! Oh yes, I read your post on the Fast Cat race, you guys ROCKED it! Keep being awesome Marvelous Marv
Thanks! FastCAT is always a lot of fun and Nelson is also addicted now. Memorial Day was quiet for us, but we enjoyed the day anyway.
Yappy Memorial Day!
Hope you had a nice holiday.
I love the reminder about canine veterans!
Thank you. We think about them all the time.
