Flags didn’t keep me out of my mom’s cemetery

By សតិវ អតុ
This Memorial Day I went to my Brother Paul’s grave and my mother who is buried nearby. I had to navigate past hundreds of flags put along the road. There were the big flags. Then there were the little flags on individual graves. They had separate holders for some of the graves. I imagine that some of or all of the graves had flags for those who were vets.
I found one lying on the ground and put it on Paul’s grave. He wasn’t a vet, but who cares. I don’t have any family members who were vets and I’m glad none of them fought or died for the phony empire. So I went to memorialize two people in my family who died but not for the empire. My brother died from pneumonia and my mom died of old age. That is OK with me.
Their graves looked nice.
