Today Atascadero as a community came together and held a beautiful solemn assembly at the Faces of Freedom Veterans Memorial in honor of our fallen men and women for Memorial Day 2011. I had the honor of being in attendance and recorded the following images.
I raved about this veterans memorial in this blog back in 2008.

Hey Kim... nice pics. And that's a very awesome memorial. Wish we had something like that here in J-town. We don't even have the traditional Confederate soldier in our courtyard. We do have a giant memorial to those folks who were killed in the 2003 tornado. 11 souls, gone. Anyway... it was a nice day to show colors and as my own grandpa was a WWI doughboy and my dad was a Staff Sgt. in the Korean War, I felt a lot of civic pride in what they have done for our country.
