I've mentioned before that I rarely open "forewards" found in my e-mail, but one today caught my eye and I went on Google.com to find out if it was all true. Apparently it was. Here is a site I found - not the "forward:" Facts about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
I also watched some interesting videos about the changing of the guard at the tomb. I'm impressed. Nobody, at any age, is about to mess with these dedicated soldiers. Now that I know how hard they have to train for the job and what they give up for the honor of being chosen as a guard, I can appreciate their demand for respect at the site.
There are several Joe's Ponders here already - the Rouleaus arrived this week and I bumped into Bo Keach at the post office - she and Bill arrived a couple weeks ago; Barb and Ernie Thurston have been back for a couple of weeks. Shelly Walker will be moving into her new house on West Shore Road in another week or so, and the pond will begin to buzz with activity soon - as soon as the weather warms, I presume. I've noticed a couple of pontoon boats in the water, but haven't seen much activity on the water - too darned chilly. But soon.
