Colleagues, please enjoy the day today and remember those that died so this country might endure.
I had the convenient privilege of, while visiting relatives, the Legion visited the cemetery across the road and did one of 13 ceremonies they did that day around Greene County, Indiana. Each cemetery with veterans that passed in the line of duty receives a prayer, a salute, and taps. All were rendered well; it seems that the rifles are degassed semi-auto M14s that might also be blocked from shooting anything but blanks. The action must be racked manually as part of the drill.
