Boy Scout Troop 325
As with last week's e-mail, the following was sent to me in an e-mail by Lori Sorabji. I would like to share it with you:
On the ABC evening news, it was reported tonight that, because of the dangers from Hurricane Isabelle approaching Washington DC, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment.
They refused. " No way, Sir!"
Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a serviceperson.
The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, since 1930.
We honor the servicemen who have given their lives so that we may live in freedom.
Thank you, and God be with you.
