We live at the foot of Punchbowl - the crater that is home to the National Cemetery of the Pacific. One of the strange things about our proximity to such a place, especially in this time of conflict in the world, is that, every once in a while, we are startled by the guns saluting a soldier or veteran as he or she is laid to rest.
Update: Turns out Sunday's gunshots were part of a memorial service related to World War II.
