Wow Amazing these Soldiers Are!!!

[Colonel Taylor]

Powerful picture at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers this morning as Hurricane Sandy approaches. Banks are closed. Businesses are closed. Roads are closed. Federal offices are closed. These men stand guard with honor.

Agreed, Thorny. Nice pic. Thanks.

Amazing fershure. End of comment.
Next comment: To those in charge, would it really do any harm to give the most prestigious honor guard in the US, members of the most powerful and expensive military in the world, some decent foul-weather gear?

But actually I'm surprised that Tert or one of those hasn't showed up to blame Obama personally for disrespecting the soldiers by not letting them have good gear.

How do you know if they do not have good gear O'Really?

Their ears are showing.
But hopefully they've got some industrial strength UnderArmor.

If one has not seen these folks in person it is difficult to comprehend how dedicated these men are. The pldege they take is unbelievable.

I have been there several times. Very impressive.

...Only one problem, however: That photo wasn’t from Sandy at all, according to the Old Guard infantry unit tasked with keeping watch over the famous memorial...

Opps.

Don't fault Colonel Taylor, looks like millions were fooled.

I saw conflicting photos, as well. Damn it Vrede, can't I feel a little jingoistic without your fact-checking?

A very sobering experience. Nothing but praise for those who have dedicated their military careers to honor our nation's fallen.

I must admit, I was fooled by some of the photos that I have seen today. Guess I was wrong. Jingoism, it can be strong.

And I have family in the North East. My thoughts are with them, and their neighbors. I hope that I can help them in the coming days.

Hey, Detective, Big Ugly, Hugh, and the 5 (so far) gongoozler sock puppets, do you see how easy that is? You should try it sometime; it's rather liberating, when you can admit that you were wrong about something. Try it once.

Don't matter when it was taken the point is what mattered. And yes they were still there yesterday and today.
