I have a link to a video of the ceremony and am currently having trouble posting it in this forum.
Please post your essay. There are a number of site members who live in the DC area.

Good paragraph. When will you be at Arlington National Cemetery?

Rangers, and all, I met this fella and he's a great kid, a helluva lot of endurance on him PT wise as well. If he doesn't do you all proud I'd be shocked and incensed.

Congratulations Brooks, you did good. You're doin a damn good job of showing how a young man from MS should act, keep it up and good luck!

Very nice essay, Brooks.

Ranger Jim,

I currently have no pictures of the ceremony. However I do have a video of it posted below. The actual wreath laying portion takes place at about the 1.5 minute point. Of the four participants I am the tallest one on the left side of the wreath and tomb.
