In honor of Memorial Day,

Little Bighorn Battlefield - Memorial Flags

Pretty Eagle students visited the Little Bighorn Battlefield on Thursday and placed memorial flags on the nearly 5,000 markers filling the national cemetery.

Placing out flags... yes, that's one of my ballet girls still wearing her tutu. Ha!

Many students and staff have relatives buried in the National Cemetery at the Little Bighorn Battlefield. Did you know that Native Americans hold the highest percentage of military recruits out of all racial demographics? By a significant leap, too. I sure didn't...

Little Bighorn Battlefield
"The muffled drum's sad roll has beat / The soldier's last tattoo / No more on life's parade shall meet / That brave and fallen few."

Remembering all those who have lost their lives in service, and hoping that everyone will be praying for peace today & everyday.
