Yosemite & Heroes

The U.S. government set aside scenic land for
all people to enjoy on this day in 1864.
Abraham Lincoln had a vision for the future
of our country even though he was in the midst of a
terrible war.

   

                               &

The great poet Czeslaw Milosz
born in Lithuania on this day in 1911 wrote:

"We don't know who the person next to us is.
He may be a hero, a saint, a genius."

                               Also one year ago today, 19 firefighters died 

in Yarnell, AZ.

May they rest in peace with our gratitude.
