In the long run, the pessimist may be proved to be right,
but the optimist has a better time on the trip.
but the optimist has a better time on the trip.
My DC bucket list was completed
when we spent time at the Arlington Cemetery.
We arrived just before dusk.
Walking up the hill to the place where they perform the
Changing of the Guards
was a breathtaking experience.
On my right, my left, in front of me, and behind me,
I was surrounded by the sacred graves
of the men and women who
of the men and women who
gave their lives that we may experience
FREEDOM.
God bless every one of them,
and God bless those who lost their loved ones in one of the many wars
that was fought to keep our freedom.
Before the ceremony began,
I gazed beyond the cemetery and beheld
our nation's Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial.
At 7:00 p.m. sharp, the changing of the guards began.
Not a word was spoken.
Total silence.
Except for the birds chirping above.

I'll remember these moments forever.
Put your hope in the Lord.
Travel steadily along His path.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
