It would be cool to have “Tombstone High School” on one’s record ;-). “Kempsville” has no zing.

For some reason, this reminded me of my favorite line from the beginning of the movie 1776, as the Continental Congress is deliberating:


A committee formed to think, perhaps to do...
but in any case, to gather, to meet, to confer, to talk...
and perhaps even to resolve that each rifle regiment...
be allowed at least one drum and one fife attached to each company...
designated as the Drum and Fife Committee.

This is something I would love to be able to see. Are you going?

The Old Guard (not this Fife and Drum Corps but the same unit) performed the burial ceremony for my dear departed FIL in 2000.

They also guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.

Amazing group of soldiers.
