I had a buddy that was selected for duty at the Tomb & had a chance a chance to hang out with some of the other guards while waiting for their shifts.

A buncha happygolucky kids off duty, rock-jawed soldiers while on.

They are the embodiment of all thats good about Americans.

That is the most sacred ground in our great nation. So long as our men guard that tomb our nation will be well and free.
Bless them.

Truer words were never spoken. For the vast majority of the people I served with during my 8+ years in the Army, I feel the same way about them.

I took the wife and kids to DC for our summer vacation, and what a whirlwind it was! Arlington - visited my father's tomb in the Columbarium, Gettysburg, the Capitol - we had our pictures taken with our Congressman, and several museums. We'll be going back in a couple of years.

Our visit with our Congressman was enjoyable and revealing. When I thanked him for his vote on the tax cut, he said "there's more on the way". Boy, are the liberals going to be screaming when the next round of tax cuts are proposed.

Say what you will about the Pubbies, they have delivered on lowering our taxes. Had algore won, I doubt that we would have had our taxes cut a nickel.
