    Memorial Day Vid**REQUIRED VIEWING**

    I usually post this to my Facebook Page when the time comes each year to remind folks that this isn't just about a long weekend and BBQ. We know the difference, but hopefully you may be able to reach someone out there who doesn't.

    Lets take this day to remember our fallen brothers. Those who gave all to defend the Constitution of the Greatest Nation the world has ever seen.

    For those who fought for it, freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know.

    Amen to that.

    Awesome post, TLOG. There is also a good write-up in Soldiers magazine about these guards here: http://www.army.mil/-news/2010/04/26...-the-unknowns/

    Indecision may or may not be my problem.

    I have been wanting to see the tomb of the unknown soldier for a while now. My parents went and said it was absolutely amazing.

    My Son just went a few months ago for his Sr trip. He said it was VERY impressive and the hair was standing on his back.

    I never been there. Looks pretty cool. I'll be visiting my dad's grave at a veterans cemetery on Saturday here in California.
