Who Gave His Life In The Performance Of His Duty

July 8, 1945

He Lived To Bear His Country's Arms. He Died

To Save Its Honor. He Was A Soldier... And He

Knew A Soldier's Duty. His Sacrifice Will Help

To Keep Aglow The Flaming Torch That Lights

Our Lives... That Millions Yet Unborn May Know

The Priceless Joy Of Liberty And We Who Pay

Him Homage, And Revere His Memory, In Solemn

Pride Rededicate Ourselves To A Complete

Fulfillment Of The Task For Which He So

Gallantly Has Placed His Life Upon The Altar

Of Man's Freedom.

1923 - 1945

Our Darling Son Is Our Loss And Heavens Gain.

Nicest Box Tomb I've Found

I found this beautiful box tomb at Stuckey Cemetery in Johnson, AR.  I must say this is one of the nicest box tombs I have found so far.  I think it may even be the first truly carved one I have found.

This flower is carved on all four corners of the top panel. I believe it is suppose to be a dogwood flower. The dogwood flower represents Resurrection, sacrifice, and eternal life.

I love that the carvings go all the way down and not just on the top panel.

To me it looks like the two end pieces were carved then the two side panels were not.

It is so hard to get good pictures of the top part when you are short.

And to think I almost didn't explore this section of the cemetery.  It was hot and time was running out. But I thought what the heck I will make one quick run through the back section.  And there sat this beautiful tomb I almost missed.  So glad I decided to go on to the back.

An Unusual Garden Plot

My friend Theresa took me to this specific cemetery just to show me this interesting plot.  The pics don't do it justice it's very large and pretty.  It comes complete with a walking path and art work.
