With all the recent storms shutting down travel, the government, schools and just about everything else in the DC area recently, keep in mind that there are still a very FEW who will never be off duty. The Old Guard. On duty. Always.

Thank you!

Manchu,

Thanks so much for sending this.  This is very special to me since my husband served in the Old Guard 1975-1976 and my father-in-law is buried in Arlington.  Some people such as you care enough to send this out and make others aware of our great men and women in service both at home and all over the world.  I heard from my nephew, the Navy Corpsman serving with a Marine Unit in southern Afghanistan, a few days ago via Face Book (that is the only way we hear from him now).  I pray for his safety every day and thank him for his service (and all others past and present) for stepping up to keep us free.  I am so proud of all our men and women who are serving our country and hope they know that the majority of Americans ore behind them all the way no matter what they may hear from our liberal press.

Sorry to go on, just wanted to say thank you for all that you do.  I do not write as eloquently as you--I'm just an old southern gal.  Please know I am honored to call you friend!
