I don't remember how many years ago it was, but it was the week that the lewinsky story broke I attended a funeral for a friend of mine at Arlington. My friend had been in the Army Air Corps in WW II. Got out, got a job with the city of L.A. and enlisted in the infrantry for Korea. Got dinged in Korea, treated at the 4077th MASH.

He was buried by the "OLD GUARD", and they did it right for him. It was the first time I'd been to Arlington and seen the "OLD GUARD" do the service for a soldier. As a Marine, I was impressed. Good to see this Army General Officer appreciates how we take care of our own. Semper Fi

Some Army folk performed honors at my grandfather's funeral. It really brought a feeling of reverence and inspiration to see those young men and women treat a man they had never met with so much respect and loyalty.

"There were about 70 of us who had just left the aircraft, still in the terminal watching this entire ceremony for about 40 minutes. "

Fortunately the plane didn't need to fly out again in half an hour.

Thanks for the post. Two days ago I arose at oh darkthirty to deliver a young kinsman to the tender mercies of Recruit Depot, San Diego.

God bless'em all.
