HBO has a show showing military burials at Arlington National. Rows of rows of American dead--soldiers they are. People crying; they are sad no doubt. Most are strangely calm. The burial over and the back hoe comes and dumps the dirt.
It breaks my heart to watch the grievers: parents, wives, and little kids.
I have actually visited Arlington. It is both beautiful and awe inspiring.
And then TAPS is played and the Honor Guard fires on command. Yes, it is beautiful.
These soldiers are not forgotten.
