It is part of the tradition of military service and we did it with pride and patriotism.<BR/><BR/>Just as we stand today when it is played, or when the colors pass by during a parade, out of respect we remain respectfully quiet, no cell phones, no eating, no talking (regardless of what goes on around us).<BR/><BR/>It is a brief time to reflect on all we have to be thankful for in this great country of ours. Dignity and respect sometimes seems to be in short supply these days, except for those who understand the cost of the fight for freedom against our inevitable implacable foes who desire to take it away from us.<BR/><BR/>The rest of us sleep safely knowing that these patriots man the battlements around the world to make it thus.vet66https://www.blogger.com/profile/07138153738393721582noreply@blogger.com
