It IS Veteran's Day, and in honor of it, I forced myself to watch a documentary on the history of Arlington last night, including what it takes to be an Honor Guard.

I say "forced" because from the opening two minutes, I was in tears. It is solemn and amazing, compassionate and awesome.

And when I woke up this morning, I had to silently thank all the veterans in all the wars that have kept us free since this country became a country, and all of the service members and their families today.

So thank you all. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

[ok...going back to "normal" here]

I would not be able to be an Honor Guard.
I would never be able to meet the position requirements.
Those guys have my permanent respect.
