Yesterday’s national recognition of Memorial day honors those military personnel who have died performing their duties.

Ukiah’s Russian River Cemetery adorned sections of their grounds with American flags to honor the fallen and bring recognition to the national day of reflection.

Ukiah resident Cassandra Cain-Bawden said, “realizing these flags were honoring the ones who died fighting for our freedom was very emotional.” Cain-Bawden said she reflected with her mother about “how young some of the men were.”

I like to think of myself as a reporter for the Average Joe. Journalism has become a craft defined largely by city dwellers on America's coasts. It’s time to take it back. I have been an Emerald Triangle resident since 2006 and this is year ten in Mendocino County. Please, email me at matthewplafever@gmail.com if you know a story that needs to be told.
