Patriot’s Holiday: American flag on a soldiers grave taken in a Leelanau County, Northern Michigan cemetery. I happened past an old cemetery in the morning on the Fourth of July. Everyone I knew was preparing for fireworks, parties, vacations, and celebrations. Though it was early, I was moved when I realized that someone had already been there and marked this old grave with a patriotic reminder.

    Robert: This photo tells such a great story. Very symbolic.

  • Thank you Mary. I was driving by and saw the grave markers had been heaved to different angles and it really grabbed me. At first I didn’t even see the flags. I went back a few time and shot in different light.
