Soldier On

My original idea for a Veterans Day blip didn't pan out, so I went to one of my favorite cemeteries to see if I could find anything interesting to capture. Turns out Louisa May Alcott is a US war veteran as well as a famous author. According to her obituary, "when the civil war broke out she was one of the army of noble women who went to the front to engage in service as a nurse in hospitals. She was assigned to the Georgetown Hospital near Washington and served until she broke down under a severe attack of typhoid fever, from the results of which she never fully recovered."

Thank you to all of the men and women who have served our country.
