Masons from Gloucester’s Tyrian-Ashler-Acacia Lodge are shown laying a wreath at one of Riverdale’s monuments honoring fallen Veterans.  Pictured are (from left) Richard Boerio, Roland Leger, Eric Bergengren, and Phil Peterson, and assistants Chandler, Carter, and Clayton Peterson.

THINKING OF OUR VETERANS

Hoping that all our veterans were able to spend the day in a way that was meaningful to them.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

To read about the origins of In Flanders Fields see the following from the Arlington National Cemetery website.

BUONGIORNO FROM SUNNY SIENA

Especially on this coldest and dampest of Memorial Days, I am enjoying the photos Liv is sending from her adventures in Italy, these from sunny Sienna.

Piazza del Campo in the center of Siena, Tuscany

The medieval Duomo di Siena, built between 1215 and 1263


“Saint Michael Defeats the Rebel Angels” masterwork by Renaissance-Mannerist painter Domenico di Pace Beccafumi (1486-1551). The painting is permanently installed at San Niccolò al Carmine, a Sienese church and monastery.

Memorial Day

Went to the Memorial Day Ceremony at Gloucester High on Monday. It was an emotional and wonderful ceremony. Thank you all military who have served and are serving including our police, fire and first responders.
