WASHINGTON - Official ceremonies and solemn visits will mark Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery.
ADVERTISEMENT
The formal wreath-laying ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. EDT at the Tomb of the Unknowns. President Bush will be among those paying respects to the nation's war dead.
And the Memorial Day parade in Washington will feature one of the country's oldest veterans. Lloyd Brown was 16 years old when he signed up to fight in World War I. He's now 103, and one of an estimated 30 U.S. veterans of World War I still alive.
Thanks

no problem...
that might be from last year, I am not sure, but it is going to be rainy again this year in DC, but I think it may hold off long enough....
I've got it playing on my computer while my 5 yr old and 8 yr old sons watch cartoons (it's easier this way. Trust me)
PING
LIVE on C-span.....
Bump!
I see Maj. Gen. Galen Jackson is on duty, as expected. The President looks very affected.
President Will Lay(Cindy) Wreath at Arlington,That is how it was titled when clinton was in office.
In the old days, they called it the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Now it's called the Tomb of the Unknowns, which could mean anything...vegetable cans that have no labels, pictures that have no caption.
I don't get how it changed from Unkown Soldier to Unkown blank??
