Thank God For Soldiers Like This
Hurricane Irene is making its way up the East Coast as I write. In the midst of the heavy winds and the driving rain, there is a special breed of soldier who is braving the bad weather to continue to honor the brave soldiers that gave their all. This solider is an Tomb Sentinel with the 3rd Infantry Regiment - the Old Guard. They have guarded the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier every minute of every day since April 6, 1948.

"Soldiers never die until they are forgotten.
Tomb Guards never forget"

A Soldier is someone who at one point and time in his life wrote a blank check up to and including his life, made payable to the people that they defend.
 

It is a small price to pay for someone who paid the ultimate price.

God Bless them and thanks.
