The Fallen

American Cemetery, Cambridge, England

I visited the American Cemetery to spend a few peaceful moments.
The carpet of fallen leaves seemed symbolic of the young lives lost in defence of our freedom.
The stone inscription is taken from the huge wall of remembrance listing out so neatly
thousands of names of American servicemen who lost their lives in Europe during WWII.

I guess I might not be here if it wasn't for their sacrifice. So this is my very small tribute.
