Wow- that was my exact thought.
It is so rare to find a man of honor and to see that man quietly performing his duty—is just remarkable...
God bless them all!

“...are known but to God.”
Only those who have served fully understand these words. The rest of us are in awe.

The soldiers are “insanely brave” and knowing they are standing in the storm is humbling. Time to be grateful.

here is the best of the human raceOK. I will probably word this poorly, but the strength of these men can only come from the strength of the women that stand beside them. And that, IMO, is the best of the human race.

It is nice, but more a comfort. If it is ok with you I will talk later about what I think. But between that, my PTSD, and the meds, I should just go lay down for a bit.

My wife and I were able to be there when they interred the Tomb for the soldier from the Vietnam War. The whole parade, horse with reversed boots, the whole ceremony. That was awesome.
