Ellen Davies, 75, of Indiana, PA, sits by her husband, Charles Davies, grave at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies in Bridgeville, PA on Sunday afternoon, May 30, 2010 before the start of the cemetery's Memorial Day program. Davies says she is proud of her husband's service. He served in the US Army and fought in the Korean War. "My life goes on, but I wish it was with him," she said as she sat by his grave. "We were married 53 years, but we'll meet again," she says with a smile.
