Some men and women, buried at Arlington, will be remembered for their ultimate sacrifice in the defense of the ideals & freedoms of our great country. It was awe-inspiring seeing Arlington and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in my recent trip to DC with my Mom. Each tombstone represents a beloved son or daughter, wife, husband, sister, brother, father or mother...a lump automatically forms in my throat when I think of this.
My beautiful Mom!
Even though it was HOT...the soldiers didn't have any sweat running down their faces/necks...how? Maybe they have some type of absorptive material in the band of their hat.
Most of us won't be remembered by a white stone on the hills of Arlington...but how will we be remembered? As I contemplate this...here's what came to mind...a loving parent, an encouraging friend, a helpful wife, a cheerful lady, a helping neighbor, a hard working colleague...& of course, a Tarheel basketball fanatic, a loud & boisterous talker, a person with a zest & passion for life, not afraid to do the right thing or try new things....How will you be remembered?
