HONOR, COURAGE, COMMITMENT

Guard at the Tomb of the Unkowns, Arlington National Cemetery
Friday, January 22nd, 2016

It is Friday evening, the Cemetery is closed to visitors.  Washington, D.C. is closing down.  The winter storm is starting to blow and snow is starting to accumulate.  The guard still walks--24 hours a day, snow, sleet, whatever.  That's true dedication--think of that the next time you find yourself inclined to whine about something mundane.
