The Manomet Cemetery is adjacent to the Second Church of Plymouth located at Gellar's Corner in Manomet.The cemetery is ablaze with spring color around Memorial Day.
Many graves are marked with small American flags signifying former servicemen and women.
Although the beautiful plantings create an almost garden-like appearance, visiting is always a somber reminder of the men and women we have sacrificed in protecting our freedoms at home or the freedoms of our allies abroad.
Memorial Day recognition began after the Civil War but was later expanded to cover all American servicemen and women killed in military service.
