I cried a little. Seeing our flag being raised, then slowly lowered to half mast with taps in the background does something to me.
You're not alone in that regard.

I get teared up to Mad. I think that if someone does not get blurry eyed, they are one of 2 things.

1. just clueless and do not understand the meaning behind it
2. just don't care and need to be knee capped with a 5.56

Scott, if you get the chance, there's one just outside of Ft. Custer. Take a pass through. It's a real nice place but set up a little different. It's wooded, with lanes that wind around in sections. Park-like atmosphere. There is a computerized mapping system that gives a print out of the location if your looking for a particular grave. We put my dad there in '04.
