Summary:Memorial Day, sometimes lost in the shuffle of life along with its meaning, but Napoleon takes time to remember. A drabble story and number six in the Solo-series posted on FF.net under MLaw
_____________________________________________



Napoleon had the rare occasion to be in Washington on Memorial Day, and wandering row upon row of white headstones in Arlington gave him pause.

“So many,” he shook his head watching a couple walk past him carrying flowers and a small American flag. “And too few.”

There were constant protests against American presence in Vietnam. He too wasn’t sure about the U.S. being there, but to mistreat those who were willing to sacrifice themselves for others, tormenting those left behind, was just wrong.

He found his friend Scotty Bob’s grave and knelt.*

“Hey buddy, I haven’t forgotten you...”

It's so easy to see Napoleon here in this scene. A fitting tribute, thank you.
