I post this every Veterans Day, and plan to continue even if it gets poofed and even though one person took some sort of issue with it one year. Im picking up my 86 YO WW II Vet Buddy soon taking him to our local American Legion hall for the ceremonies and dinner, we do this every year and each year at TAPS I get teary eyed.
Thanks Vets for honoring and serving your country and but for your service and bravery and honor, we would probably all be speaking Japanese or German

I don't know if you saw this in the news but it really impressed me. Funny, our US Senate/House took 2 days off as they couldn't work because of the expected storm. On the ABC evening news, it was reported tonight that, because of the dangers from Hurricane Isabelle approaching Washington DC, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment.
They respectfully declined the offer, "No way, Sir!"
Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, but it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a serviceperson.
The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.
We can be very proud of our young men and women in the service no matter where they serve.
