Into The Breach
And at Arlington...
Spc. Seth Wymer, Sentinel, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), places flags in front of the four crypts of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery, VA on May 23, 2013. Includes footage of Sentinels guarding the Tomb and portions of a Changing of the Guard.
The ceremony, known as Flags In, is performed to commemorate and honor U.S. military personnel ahead of Memorial Day weekend and has been conducted annually since 1948.

Words to Taps (Note: there are no "official" words to Taps below are the most popular.)
Day is done, gone the sun, From the hills, from the lake, From the skies. All is well, safely rest, God is nigh. Go to sleep, peaceful sleep, May the soldier or sailor, God keep. On the land or the deep, Safe in sleep.
Love, good night, Must thou go, When the day, And the night Need thee so? All is well. Speedeth all To their rest.
Fades the light; And afar Goeth day, And the stars Shineth bright, Fare thee well; Day has gone, Night is on.
Thanks and praise, For our days, 'Neath the sun, Neath the stars, 'Neath the sky, As we go, This we know, God is nigh.
May God Bless and keep their souls... Please observe one minute of silence at 3:00 p.m. on Memorial day for remembering our war dead.

I visited Arlington when I was in DC. Very moving place to visit, the final resting place of so many heroes.
