On Memorial Day thousands of people will visit Riverside National Cemetery, to lay flowers at gravesides and honor military veterans, living and dead. The cemetery is among the places depicted in "Wild Blue Yonder" -- a photo and oral history project from Riverside novelist Susan Straight that celebrates the deep ties between Inland Southern California and the U.S. military.
