New on 500px : Memorial Day Flag Garden by fmarty by fmarty

The early morning sun shines low by the Soldiers and Sailors Monument to pay tribute to all those who gave their lives for this country, represented by the 37,000 flags planted in the Boston Common in for the Memorial Day celebrations.
Wonderful idea and work by the Massachusetts Military Heroes Fund!

The inscription at the base of the Monument is worth transcribing:
To the men of Boston
Who died for their country
On land and sea in the war
Which kept the Union whole
Destroyed slavery
And maintained the constitution
Te grateful city
Has built this monument
That their example may speak
To coming generations

This is where the last shot from Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia on April 9, 1865. The end of hostilities from Lee’s triggered the end of the Civil War, though Confederate troops continued fighting out west into June.
