Yesterday went out to Arlington to beat the crowds today. Always a spiritual and reflective time.
If you do go, on top of the Tomb of the Uknowns, and the JFK flame I highly recommend trekking towards the back of the cemetery. There is Section 60, where about 1000 of the dead from Iraq an Afghanistan are buried, very much the most living and raw section of the cemetery.
Also took the time finally to find Colonel Julien Gaujot's grave in Section 6, nice and high up on a hill just past the Tomb of the Unkowns. Col. Gaujot is the only Hokie Medal of Honor Recipient buried there.

All I can say is thanks. From soul and heart. Thanks.
A toast to you, brothers.
Amen.
