Just a note for tomorrow...there is a reason that there are no Happy Memorial Day and Happy
Veteran's Day cards. Tomorrow is time to reflect, not celebrate. Please remember those who served and continue to serve. If you know a veteran, or meet one, shake a hand and say 'Thanks'. Most of us do not have the day off and perhaps a day will come when remembering Patriot's will be completely ignored, but I hope not.
365/24/7 in rain, snow, hail, sunshine, and recently hurricane winds the Tomb Of The Unknowns is guarded. The rifle that the guard carries is never carried on the side facing the tomb. The Declaration of Independence itself is not guarded in this manner.
REMEMBER....
The eleventh hour,
on the eleventh day,
of the eleventh month...
