Memorial Day Afternoon Along the SSgt Morningstar Boardwalk

Monday, May 28, 2012

Salado Creek Greenway, Lady Bird Johnson Park Trailhead,
SSgt Morningstar Boardwalk

Today is Memorial Day, a day set aside for special remembrance of all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. I am not aware of a more appropriate location for a nature walk on this day than the SSgt Christopher Morningstar Boardwalk on the Salado Creek Greenway.


The text on the sign reads:

"As long as… stars graze in the vault of heaven so shall your honor, your name, your praise endure.  -  Virgil"

"The Morningstar Boardwalk honors Army Staff Sergeant Christopher Morningstar, a son of San Antonio and a soldier loved and respected by the troops he led. On February 5, 2006 in Husayniyah, Iraq, SSG Morningstar, 27, gave his life for his country and the democratic ideals he cherished. His sacrifice will never be forgotten."
