Memorial Day ACTION!

Today is Memorial Day, a US holiday which commemorates the military men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice - that of their lives - while serving their country. Today's shots, taken across the country for which they died, are in honor of them :)

I heart New York ACTION!

From the east coast of New York, as seen in Jason Collins fun shot on the state line...

Golden Gate ACTION!

To the west coast, where we find Julia's beautiful shot in San Francisco...

Magnolia state ACTION!

From the sweet south of Mississippi, as seen in Josh's exciting shot...

Prairie days ACTION!

To the rolling prairies of Claridon, OH as seen in Scott's wonderful shot...

We are a diverse country, made up of a diverse people on a diverse land. May we forever embrace our differences and always stand-up for all the goodness that defines our collective whole!

We pause to remember those who died
With so much courage, so much pride

They’ll never come back, yet memories endure
To remind us of freedom: fragile, pure

We’re worthy of their sacrifice if we pause each day
Not just on the last Monday in May
