ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD,

AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON  THEM.
 
        In 2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was approaching Washington, DC, our
US Senate/House took 2 days off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC
 evening news, it was reported that because of the dangers from the
 hurricane, 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
 very 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 and keep them.
