With DNA analysis, of course, there doesn't have to be an unknown soldier anymore; but this one represents all of them and thus all of us and they honor him and us all as they march.<br /><br />Keeping to that precise step, if they were able to, during an Atlantic hurricane would be extremely difficult to impossible--and yet I could just picture them, unflappable, continuing briskly on; it would be moving in more ways than what the mere wind could make happen.AlisonHhttp://spindyeknit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600802524141251157.post-58034516799754555172011-01-30T10:22:04.614-08:002011-01-30T10:22:04.614-08:00I've been to Arlington, too but I was too youn...I've been to Arlington, too but I was too young to appreciate it. My two memories of that trip when I was ten were of buying souvenir Confederate money (which had an interesting fake smell) and being car sick (like, pull-over NOW car sick. They did.)LynnMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00267155977276693521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600802524141251157.post-33050855460066826352011-01-29T23:58:40.576-08:002011-01-29T23:58:40.576-08:00I have been to Arlington National Cemetery twice a...I have been to Arlington National Cemetery twice and have watched the changing of the guard and also watched a wreath laying ceremony. It was beautiful and extremely emotional. Thanks for this information.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17611237500390744084noreply@blogger.com
