Just a quick note on the Decoration Day ceremonies at Arlington. I had the
honor and privilege of standing with the Gettysburg Blues for this last year
and will be there again this year. It is a wonderful thing to be a part of
and I would encourage all who can to attend this. The view of the
Washington DC skyline combined with the sea of headstones, the music,
speakers and the artillery salutes all work together to truly humble and
inspire the visitor.
