Love that place! Such an honor to see them at work no matter what.

[Churchillspirit]

Thank you, Captain.

A reminder of sacrifice. Puts our creature comforts in perspective.

[homegroan]

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.

Line 6 of the “Sentinel’s Creed” as given in the article is:

“my standard will remain perfection.”

[mumblypeg]

Awesome, BFAC! Thanks for that reminder.
And thanks for being YOU!

[Falconspeed]

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

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Thanks for posting! God bless you and these men.

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

God bless you too!

here is the best of the human race

OK. 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.

...bump....

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Nice!

[disndat]

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.

Thanks Cap!!!
Great mood lifter for this dreary snowy Saturday.

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Thanks!

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Okay. Take care of yourself.

In essence participants (paying respect) to a historical event. The kind of thing you never forget.
