We Won’t Forget

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. We remember.

On our Cleveland trip over the weekend (which I will tell you all about tomorrow) we wandered the beautiful downtown and happened upon a small museum with a very tall statue in the middle. It was opening time so we went inside. It was a gift from a wealthy local to the city to remember all 9,000 Clevelanders who fought in the Civil War. Every name is inscribed on the inside wall and bronze statues memorialize President Lincoln’s role.  It’s beautiful.  It was perfect timing for us to see it, too.
