Fort Mitchell, Kentucky

What Happened on 14 June 1777?  The United States adopted a national flag that came to be known as the 'star spangled banner.' It's not surprising to see it all over American graveyards, sometimes etched into granite and sometimes flying free over the grave itself. The inscription on this headstone reads "Once in our lives and now in our hearts." We could modify it to refer to the red-white-and-blue: "Everywhere in our lives and always in our hearts." St. Mary's Cemetery. [2017]
