Gathering: Cemetery Memorial

This is the memorial piece for my grandfather that has recently passed away due to the Vietnam War. He was in an explosion which caused him to need his leg amputated decades after going back home. He was a Purple Heart veteran receiver so that is what the hat resembles. Next to that is his ashesafter we had his body cremated. The picture on the farthest right is a picture my family took while fishing in the Rocky Mountains camping. This memorial piece is very special to my family and I.
