Necropolis Umbrae And Bewitched

 

Gemma Cleanslate has continued to check out Halloween places as the month of October ticks on. Necropolis Umbrae is a darkly enticing cemetery with a riddle in it's library. She was able to solve it, but can you? Bewitched had many places to see, including a foreboding castle to explore, and a haunted railway to ride. And she stopped by Yosemite, which has decorated one place up for the spooky season.

Black Hills National Cemetary Pictures Near Vietnam Wall

 

The Heavens Sunset sim is noted for it's virtual replica of the Vietnam Wall. But recently Suta Northman whom runs the area had something else to show me. It was a number of photographs on display, under a roof supported by pillars. At the opening were two plaques. One had the Gettysburg Address. The other had the following:

Angel Flights.

In the end .... They gave all.

Black Hills National Cemetary
Spearfish, South Dakota

*********

This is one of many sacred resting places of Angel Flights throughout the world and for our brothers and sisters over the years.

The pictures were of numerous photographs of the cemetery and the nearby Back Hills. Suta would explain some of his family were intered there. Among them was Major Kenneth C Owens, whom had enlisted as a private, got a commission, and worked his way up to Major. He served in Korea and Vietnam. He would also show photos of the nameplaques of two other relatives, Specialist Leroy Boucher and Sergeant Dean Boucher. Both were also veterans of Korea and Vietnam. 

The photos are not far from the Native American Veterans Memorial, which itself is close by the Vietnam Wall.

Peace Valley Pet Cemetery

Deaflegacy Darkbloom recently stopped by the Peace Valley Pet Cemetery. A place for residents to set up memorials for their pets in real life which have passed away, Deaflegacy was impressed with how well the place was well done, from the placement of the trees to the church setting.
