A very busy photograph, but that seems appropriate for Teddy Roosevelt. The real Teddy did visit Waterloo, but by train, on a whistle-stop campaign for Governor.

The actual observance of Memorial Day, and commemoration of the fallen, will be on the 30th, as it has been, every year, for 151 years.
I took a picture of an old Chrysler, and didn’t see the reflection of the flags until I got home. This is similar to the one owned by Harry Truman, who would drive with his wife Bess to NYC, to visit their daughter. Â He drove it himself, with no Secret Service detail.
This reminded me of the 1975 song by Robert Lamm of the band “Chicago,” who was not a fan of Richard Nixon –
Harry Truman
America needs you Harry Truman ~ Harry could you please come home
Things are looking bad ~ I know you would be mad ~
To see what kind of men ~ Prevail upon the land you love ~
America’s wondering, how we got here ~ Harry all we get is lies~
We’re gettin’ safer cars ~ Rocket ships to Mars ~
From men who’d sell us out~  To get themselves a piece of power ~Â
We’d love to hear you speak your mind ~ In plain and simple ways ~
Call a spade a spade~ Â Like you did back in the day ~
You would play piano ~ Each morning walk a mile ~
Speak of what was going down ~ With honesty and style ~
~ America’s calling Harry Truman ~ Harry you know what to do ~
The world is turnin’ round ~ and losin’ lots of ground
Oh Harry is there something we can do to save the land we love ~~~~~ by Robert Lamm
