        **I don't know if you saw this in the news but it really
        impressed me.  Funny, our **US** Senate/House took 2 days off
        as they couldn't work because of the expected storm.

        On the ABC evening news, it was reported tonight that,
        because of the dangers from Hurricane Isabelle approaching
        Washington DC, the military members assigned the duty of
        guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given
        permission to suspend the assignment.

        They respectfully declined the offer, "No way, Sir!"

        Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a
        tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just
        an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded
        to a serviceperson.

        The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.

        I don't usually suggest that many emails be forwarded, but
        I'd be MIGHTY proud if this one reached as many as possible.

        We can be very proud of our young men and women in the
        service no matter where they serve.

        God Bless them.*


         

        Freedom Does Not Come Free
        It Comes at a very dear price
        Thank a Veteran
        Thank a Sailor, Soldier, Airman or Marine
