Sidebar:
The DVD listed below is highly recommended (at least by “VOA”).
Good to watch during Memorial Day.
EVEN IF PBS was involved in the documentary!
Seeing a group of noisy kids go silent with awe-filled eyes when they
see the silent sentries pacing off their steps...PRICELESS.
It also includes lots of details about (IIRC) “The Arlington Ladies”
that assist the bereaved relatives (often a lone spouse) and about the
dedication of the sentries.
(WARNING: Some viewers will be well-advised to keep tissues at hand)

Too bad the Nat Geo cover photo is reversed (showing the soldier saluting with his left hand).
