This was recently sent to me by Sgt. Slaughter. I am taking the liberty of posting it.
Background;
Patriotic motorcyclist start an across the nation trek from LA to DC on Memorial Day weekend to honor the fallen and missing. It is named Rolling Thunder and I believe this year was the 9th annual?
In any event, the procession takes a little over three hours from beginning to end.
A lone Marine stood on Constitution Ave and saluted without rest for the three + hour procession. He did not drop the salute, but did take one drink of water with his left hand.
Enjoy, I sure did.
And, I think I can speak in my father’s behalf by saying, Semper Fi!

It looked like he was fighting through the pain of holding his arm up the whole time, but he did it. What a credit to the USMC!

His arm had to be crying out with pain, but he kept it up. Way to go!

yes you could see it in his facial expression. it's moments when I see something like this that makes me even more proud to be a citizen of this great nation we live in, what a courageous and compelling honor to the Men and Women that make or have made so many sacrifices for my freedom.
