This is the "Changing of the Guard" at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Cemetery. If you are not going to be at a Memorial Day service or can't get to a National Cemetery, take a few minutes and watch this video. Soldiers, past and present, deserve our contemplation of their service and sacrifice.

Going to Washington, DC with your family so they can see Lincoln's Memorial, John Kennedy's grave, the White House, Capital Hill and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier ought to be a priority.

One of my favorites. This is the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace on September 12, 2001. Make me proud of our allies.

I've been thinking about our men and women fighting around the world for ideals our leaders no longer hold. At least it seems that way to me.
