More stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Understanding the "wealthy working class."

- Jonathan Turley on Sergeant Jay and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The more people who learn of his dedication the better.

- Victor Davis Hanson - the decline and fall of of so-called degreed experts.

- Randy Moss will return full time to ESPN's NFL Sunday Countdown. Great news!

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Opened to Public

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was opened to the public for the first time in almost a century.

The public was allowed to walk on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Plaza and place flowers near the memorial. I applaud this move. Families of loved ones MIA from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam are themselves passing away. Sure this gesture meant so very much to those able to participate.

Kudos to whoever authorized this.

From the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC.

And from Arlington National Cemetery.

EDIT: A story that helps explain the touching sentiment behind the wreaths.

The Proper Words Escape me

It would take more than Hurricane Sandy to keep the honor guard at the Tomb of the unknown Soldier from performing their duty. I don't have the words...
