The Fallen Seven....
My wife and I were camping Labor Day weekend and decided to take a drive. The drive led to this Memorial, just a short drive out of Gorham New Hampshire. The Actual tragedy happened about half a mile from this Memorial. Now a sacred site dedicated to 7 Marines who were out for a motorcycle ride, enjoying the same Freedoms that they gave to us, turned upside down in a split second. As I took these pictures, I was reminded how short life can be. I was full of emotion, reflecting on my dad and I taking motorcycle trips through the same place when I was a young boy. For the families of the Fallen Seven, this place may never be the same, but rest assured, this Memorial just adds to the beauty and serenity of the White Mountains. It offers a place where any
Service Member, retired of active, can stop and reflect on their personal sacrifice, say a prayer and continue on their Journey in this thing we call "Life".
