It was truly an inspirational tour. Years later, I still (literally) get goose bumps thinking of the many, many cemetery headstones, all belonging to men and women who have served in our country&#8217;s armed forces. It is truly a humbling experience.<\/p>\n<p>About a month ago, I was able to watch a documentary called<em> Arlington: Call to Honor<\/em> (on the Smithsonian channel) about Arlington National Cemetery. It is a really good one-hour show. (The show will be played tonight at 9:00 and midnight &#8211; Eastern.) It features the young men who take care of Arlington&#8217;s burial ceremonies, and shows just how special these special armed forces men are&#8230; from taking care of the horses, to shining the bridles, to having to mask their feelings of sorrow as they inter yet another person at the cemetery.<\/p>\n<p>I know we should always strive to remember all of those who have given so much of themselves to keep us all safe. But, I also know that life is hectic and hurried. And because of this, I am glad that we have Memorial Day each year &#8211; so that we can think about those who have given so much for all of us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago, my daughter and I went on a tour of Arlington National Cemetery.
