On this Memorial Day remembering those who gave their lives for our country to preserve our freedom.
Norman Rockwell painted these to represent:
Freedom of Speech
Freedom to Worship
Freedom from Want
Freedom from Fear.
And here's the Statue of Liberty (a replica) in France in a traffic circle at Colmar, France where the sculptor came from. In NYC it represents a welcome to all who want to come here to enjoy our freedoms.

...a special day!
I like that series of Norman Rockwell paintings, thanks for sharing them.
It is far too easy to forget that behind daily life there are people who served and who currently serve. Memorial Day is a nudge to remember and to give thanks.
The replica is interesting.
Hello, wonderful post for Memorial Day. We must never forget our fallen heroes. Enjoy your day and week ahead!
