Keeping Memorials Tidy

For the last two-three years I have observed that the local council who is supposed to take care of the war memorials in my valley have not done their job. This sort of neglect I find distasteful and disrespectful. I decided this morning to not go digging in the forest but instead take time to fix one of the memorials.
This one is located not far from where I live and it is for the Yugoslav Partizans who slaved under Nazi command on the so called "Blood Road". These guys suffered beyond belief and many of them died horrible deaths on this very road.
It is a big shame that the ones responsible for keeping it nice and tidy havent done so for a long long time.
The place was full of garbage and there was weeds growing all around the memorial where it is supposed to be nice flowers.
In the spirit of Legenda I spent my last money on some soil, flower pots and some nice flowers and went to work. Missing out on a few days worth of dinner is a very small suffering to go through compared to what the Yugoslavs had to go through.
I hope this can inspire others to do the same if you see neglected memorials from the war, it cost so little to make a difference.
​Rest in Peace.
This is how it looked when I got there.
