The Tomb Of the Unknown Soldier


As you may know, I am proud to be an American and find it imperative that we think of those who have shed their blood or lost their lives in service to our country throughout the years. As Christmas approaches and we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ, I can't help but think of those who have passed.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier holds the remains of American soldiers from World Wars I and II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. As you may have heard, one set of these remains have been identified bringing peace to one family while many others continue to hope in vain.

I think it important this season to remember all of those missing men and women and their families in our prayers. For while we spend time within the warm bosom of our families, they remain one short.

Be thankful for their sacrifice and commitment to the founding beliefs of our country. Be thankful for their bravery. Have a very Blessed Christmas.

US Navy Drill Team

This video is amazing. It is of the US NAVY SILENT DRILL TEAM. About three years ago, our US Navy Ceremonial Guard Silent Drill Team was invited to compete in an International Tattoo in Norway.The Navy competed against military units from all over NATO and won first place. Once you see the video you'll understand why they won. It made me very proud to know that my husband is part of this amazing organization. Enjoy!
