Spanish Fort Veteran's Memorial Cemetary

A few hours ago the Veteran's Memorial Cemetery in Spanish Fort was dedicated.

An agreeable nod to today's significance in US and Military history.

This project has been 10 years or more in progress, with proponents making dozens of trips to D.C. with no expectations to "get anything" out of it in return.   I visited the site and it is a tremendously nice location.

From a photography perspective, the thing that makes a cemetery interesting is the stories of the heros who are memorialized within it's grounds.  This cemetery's story is just starting.  

While the photographic results of my lunchtime outing are underwhelming, I met and spoke with a couple of the more outspoken of the 500 Veterans that attended today's ceremony.
