Re: Thanks to all who served
I've been fortunate to visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and observe the guard and changing of the guard. It's hard to describe. It's such a mesmerizing thing. It's humbling to watch the immeasurable level of respect with which it is executed. You can see it on the guards' faces. There is nothing more important, not even close, while they are out there. And to think that they do it, in those uniforms, in the coldest of cold and hottest of hot, in the rain, snow, sleet and hurricanes. They stand guard over a tomb of soldiers who could not be identified. And even though we may not know exactly who those soldiers were, we do know that they gave their lives for all of us. And for that, they receive the highest level of respect that we can give them.
I hope this service never ends.
