Every year during Memorial Day weekend I venture out to one of our numerous nearby National Cemeteries to take a few photos and contemplate. It is always a humbling experience, no matter how many times I do it.

So on this Memorial Day weekend enjoy the freedoms that we have. Sit back, relax, grill a few steaks, and watch the Indy 500.

But, just for a few moments please think about the hundreds of thousands of men and women that gave their lives to protect those freedoms. It’s the least we can do.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

He’ll have to be cremated. Any gravesite for someone this unpopular would be desecrated over and over for all eternity. Plus he’s a f—king traitor.

"Robert E. Lee was could not return to his estate in Arlington, Virginia, because it was in the middle of a national cemetery, overlooking the graves of thousands of union soldiers. "Lee and his family instead moved to Lexington, Virginia, where he became the president of Washington College. ...In 1865, Lee signed an amnesty oath, asking once again to become a citizen of the United States. He did so as an active encouragement for confederate soldiers to rejoin the United States." [Source: PBS History Detectives]

Every year on Memorial Day I venture out to one of our numerous nearby National Cemeteries to take a few photos and contemplate. It is always a humbling experience, no matter how many times I do it.

At Cold Harbor National Cemetery, The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, built in 1877, is a 5-foot high marble sarcophagus that commemorates 889 unknown Union dead who were buried in nearby trench graves located on the battlefields of Mechanicsville, Savage-Station, and Gaines Mills.

So on this Memorial Day weekend enjoy the freedoms that we have. Sit back, relax, grill a few steaks, have a beer and watch the Indy 500. That’s what I’m going to do. But just for a few moments, please think about the hundreds of thousands of men and women that gave their lives to protect those freedoms. It’s the least we can do.

this was literally the only question i was curious about, thanks for asking that for me paimon

like fontainain people married other nationalities yeah?? how did they have kids if they were oceanids.. anddd umm if they could fuck normal humans wouldn’t that make the oceanid in springvale falling in love with a boy from mond a bit problematic lol especially since it’s no longer a fairytale but an actual thing that happened and we witnessed it last patch??

so it’s not the case and new oceanids are just turned into humans but wait!! so celestia allows that?? it keeps constantly happening but they’re not stopping it.. ok sure but also

i wonder how many generations of fontaine people will it take for them to realize that they have to sexually mate to create children now

#is this too weird to think about??#like i wasn’t constantly thinking about this but the moment i saw the first slate during furina’s trial i was like so are fontainians..#recycled oceanids or do they like propagate like bacteria #y’know.. as a biology major #my first thought was when a ‘human’ dies the oceanid that was them would loose their memories and be reborn as a new person #but then i thought like ok but they think they’re normal humans so wouldn’t it be weird to see other humans get pregnant conceive while #fontainians get their babies in mail?? and what if a fontainian is married to someone from a different nation.. this doesn’t make sense #and also another thought related to navia’s obsession with that cemetery #so umm y’know how we bury the dead in the ground as a way of returning them to where they came from.. and it is a natural process that..#recycles nutrients and natural sources to the planet yeah? so wouldn’t make more sense for fontaine people who were born from water to #return to water as well?? i just find having a cemetery a bit strange in this case #i only had this thought bc silver and melus couldn’t be buried and i was like.. none of u should #it is their belief that they’re born from water and will naturally return to it from what i understood doing the first two chapters #this train thought is getting out if hand i need to stop #genshin impact #genshin spoilers #genshin navia #neuvillette #fontaine archon quest
