In Memory
This long weekend, here in The UNITED States, is dedicated to honoring our Veterans. The countless men and women who have served so selflessly in our military, protecting this great country, and the freedoms of all who live here.
If you have never been, I urge you go go to Washington, DC and visit Arlington National Cemetery. See the Changing of Guard at The Tomb of The Unknown Soldiers, where the dedicated soldiers march in honor 24 hours a day, leaving a path on the cement.
Watch the Wreath Laying Ceremony that is performed over and over throughout each day. Participate.
Walk among the endless rows of white stones in Arlington, and see who is remembered, and how many more are not.
