North Texans are paying their respects to the nation's fallen men and women in uniform this Memorial Day.
Thousands of people visited the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery – the final resting place for countless heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country safe.
A bugler performed "Taps," and names of those buried at the cemetery were read aloud at a memorial service that also featured cannon blasts.
There was also a large turnout at Laurel Land Memorial Park in Fort Worth for a solemn ceremony Monday morning that began with a horse-drawn carriage carrying a flag-draped coffin followed by a riderless horse.
Organizers say their message every Memorial Day is the men and women who died serving our country are the real superheroes.
