A woman is standing nude in front of the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says, to
her husband, “I feel horrible. I look old, fat and ugly. I
really need you to pay me a compliment.” The husband
replies, “Your eyesight is damn near perfect.” The husband is now in intensive care hoping for a full recovery.

The military salute is a moon that evolved from medieval mes,
when knights in armour raised their visors to reveal their identy.
Kites were used in the American Civil War to deliver leers and
newspapers.
Soldiers do not march in step when going across bridges because
they could set up a vibraon which could be sufficient to knock
the bridge down.

“We stand on the shoulders of all women who
have served in America’s military.
They changed the military and changed life in
America for women because they stepped out
and did things women hadn’t done before.”
-Brig. Gen. Wilma L. Vaught (Ret.), USAF
In 2008, President George W. Bush issued
Presidenal Proclamaon 8225 declaring March
as Women’s History Month. In his proclamaon,
the President stated, “Women’s History Month
provides a wonderful opportunity to reflect on
the myriad contribuons and achievements of
American women—from the millions of unsung
heroines who have strengthened our naon
through their homes, families, and communies
to the many celebrated women who have
enjoyed more widespread recognion and fame.
While this occasion helps to bring honor where it
is due, we must nevertheless resist the noon the
“women’s history” is somehow separate from the
rest of history. In fact, they are thoroughly
entwined.” During the month of March, we
especially honor the women who have bravely
served in America’s military.
In Post 848 we have 9 Women Legion Members.
Veteran’s are—Grace David, Mary Nokielski,
Melody Morris, Nancy Cole and Paulette
Costa—and 4 women CURRENTLY serving in
the Armed Forces!

The Tomb of The Unknown
Almost everyone on the East Coast had taken refuge during Hurricane Sandy, almost. The soldiers guarding the Tomb of The Unknown are
still outside, even though the storm was expected to reach winds of 80 mph. The soldiers also stood guard during Tropical Storm Irene last
year and even though they were told they could seek shelter, they refused to as reported by the NPR.
There is perhaps no more potent symbol of the ultimate sacrifice than the “unknown soldier,” the serviceman who has died in combat but
whose remains are not identifiable. He cannot be returned to his home, his friends and loved ones cannot know for certain how or when (or
even if) he died, he cannot be placed to rest in a site of his own choosing. He remains, perpetually, a soldier who not only gave up his life for
his country, but his very identity as well. That loss of identity makes the unknown soldier a powerful symbol, however—because he is no
longer an individual, he stands for the purest ideals of courage, valor, and sacrifice and serves as a noble and selfless representation of service to one’s country.
We acknowledge our unidentified fallen heroes with a special place of reverence in our most honored of burial grounds: the Tomb of the
Unknowns (also known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier) in Arlington National Cemetery, where in 1921 we first laid to rest “In Honored
Glory An American Soldier Known But To God.” Although we cannot inter all of our unidentified war dead in Arlington, we nonetheless honor
them all by including the remains of three representative soldiers of unknown identity who died in foreign wars (World War I, World War II, and
the Korean War) there. (Beginning in 1984 the tomb also held the remains of a serviceman killed in the Vietnam War, but after DNA testing
confirmed his identity in 1998, his remains were disinterred and returned to his family. The crypt of the Vietnam Unknown has remained
empty ever since.)
The most visible honorific symbol associated with the Tomb of the Unknowns is that the site is guarded around the clock, every day of the
year, by specially trained members of the Third United States Infantry Regiment (also known as the “Old Guard”). The Sentinels who guard
the Tomb must be exemplary in discipline, dress, and bearing; thoroughly knowledgeable with the history of their unit, the Tomb of the
Unknowns, Arlington National Cemetery (and those interred there), and the U.S. Army; and be able to execute a variety of ceremonial rites
flawlessly and with precision.
Among the most notables buried in the Arlington National Cemetery are: Former Presidents—William Howard Taft and John F. Kennedy, Joe
E. Lewis (the boxer) and Medal of honor winner Audie Murphy (the most decorated soldier of WWII) of Hollywood fame. Although Joe Louis
served in the Army during World War II he did not meet the technical requirements for burial at Arlington, but he is interred there because
President Ronald Reagan waived the requirements when Louis died in 1981.
