Honoring the Fallen

There is nothing more solemn and more honorable than a Military memorial for fallen heroes. If you don't believe that, attend a Full Honors Military funeral service at one of the National Cemeteries or your local cemetery. If you can hold back the tears as the Rifle Salute is performed and Taps is played, then you probably didn't cry when Old Yeller died.
