Beautiful photos! However, as a Loudoun resident who has two young nephews who are about to be deployed this fall, I was disturbed by the fact that there wasn’t much of a turnout of Spanish speaking people. Sterling is overrun with “Latinos” and they should have been at the celebration en masse. Latinos (or whatever they want to be called) should be kissing the ground they walk on for the sacrifices that so many AMERICAN men and women have given. It is appalling how they take this country and its resources for granted. I sincerely hope this country will wake up and put its foot down once and for all. These non-English-speaking scofflaws are helping to take this country to hell in a handbasket.
Awesome!! Memorial Day pics ... thx Elizabeth.
