I'm not sure just how you get part of that elite guard, the sailor from our area is only 19 (!) - it seems he especially applied for that position...will have to look up the article again in our newspaper.
You apply and then have to be chosen....a lot of requirements have to be met...
Okay..if he is only 19...he wouldn't have been at the Reagan funeral.
All of them represent our country so well...nothing makes me more proud than our military.
(not counting my family)
