This is Part Two in a series of Memorial Day tributes and remembrances. While Part One (SLIDESHOW: 
Memorial Day 2009; Tributes large and small) focuses on the U.S. holiday and fallen soldiers, this collection of "memorial day" photos is about the children of the fallen -- seen visiting memorials and graves during both war and peace time.
In the U.S., Memorial Day is recognized as both a somber time and a day of leisure.The children depicted in these memorial photos offer both a source of strength and a reminder of what Memorial Day is really about.
