Historic Midway, Kentucky – Honoring Our Veterans

Historic Midway, Kentucky - Honoring Our Veterans

A very typical scene from rural towns in parts of Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio that I have visited, where local residents hang up street banners recognizing, and honoring the sacrifices of war veterans from many eras, from World War II, up through the present day. I imagine scenes like this are common place in other states in the Midwest as well. This particular photo comes from Midway, Kentucky, which is name Midway because it is half way between Frankfort, Kentucky’s capital, and Lexington, one of Kentucky’s largest cities, the heart of the bluegrass region, and self-proclaimed as the Horse Capital of the United States. Midway was founded in 1835.

A gnarly branch of a dead Utah Juniper tree (Juniperus osteosperma), lying across the orange sand commonly found in Arches National Park, in Utah’s desert canyon region. Part of the Colorado Plateau region of the American Southwest.

Arches National Park is famous for its sandstone arches, which form from the Entrada Sandstone that lies across the park, and which is responsible for the sand seen here. More than 2000 arches exist in the park, and have formed over thousands and in some cases millions of years, due largely to wind, rain, and the freeze/thaw cycle during the year.

A memorial to fallen soldiers at the Kentucky Veterans Cemetery in Radcliff, Hardin County. The cemetery is located outside of Fort Knox. Fort Knox is currently the official United States Bullion Depository, as well as the location of ROTC summer training, and the US Army’s Human Resources Command. 

Whether its Memorial Day, Fourth of July, or Veterans Day, or any day of the year,  remember our veterans for the sacrifice they have made to preserve Americans freedom and liberty.
