On Memorial Day me and my family went to Friendship Cemetery. We got to see all sorts of graves. Some of the tombstones dated back to just a few years after the Declaration Of Independence. We also saw tombstones of confederate soldiers, I thought those were awesome. There was a huge tombstone about 13 feet high dedicated to all the soldiers. But my favorite part of the cemetery was at the end, it was kind of closed off from the rest. There were rows and rows of unknown soldiers. It looked really cool. Right in the middle of all the unknown soldiers were four tombstones of confederate soldiers that were Brigadier generals. All in all It was a very fun way to spend my Memorial Day.
