Dedication, Honor, Respect

Donald Sensing has a great story about how the 3rd Infantry Regiment was given permission to abandon their posts guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier if they "thought they were endangered by Hurricane Isabel." They, of course, did not.

Say what you will about the military, but realize that these men, maintaining their vigil in the middle of a hurricane understand the meaning of the words dedication, honor and respect. They understand the cause of our nation and are showing a very deep understanding and reverance of the sacrifice that is required to maintain our unique "experiment."

I'm glad to see that they have not forgotten the importance of our history. We can not forget and we cannot adandon those who gave their last measure in the furtherance of our nation.

It's good to see that the men of the 3rd Infantry Regiment have not.
