Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.

Memorial Day, 2013
The flowers—artificial and natural—are in bloom in the Veterans' section of the Calvary Cemetary.
I'm not American but I did visit a cemetery in the UK.
