Gilroy, CA is located about 20 miles south of San Jose, CA.  It sits at the southernmost part of Santa Clara County and serves as the southern gateway to Silicon Valley.  Gilroy, with its rich agrarian heritage, has slowly been being replaced as a suburban hub.  The population has risen 50% in the past decade to 50,000 and new housing subdivisions have popped up as well as the addition of newer schools.Despite losing the rural roots, Gilroy is a highly desirable locale with Silicon Valley.  Housing is generally cheaper than its more expensive neighboring towns and cities to the north and throughout the Bay Area and SF peninsula.  Man folks like the slower pace and the fact that there is a lot less traffic, making it easier to get around.  We have recently added a Home Depot, a Loews, Ko... 10/29/2021

Last month, the Gilroy Chamber of Commerce visited Washington DC.  While there, they visited Arlington Cemetery and placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.  I did not make the trip, but it reminded me of my visit there in 2004.  It is a very solemn occasion.This is from the Arlington National Cemetery website:According to the Arlington National Cemetery website, in October 1921 four bodies of unidentified U.S. military personnel were exhumed from different American military cemeteries in France.
