Today at the 11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month, Vice President Cheney laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. We got there a little late, so a good samaritan took this video for me (YouTube link<\/a>) from his more\u00c2\u00a0advantageous spot. If you’ve never been to a wreath-laying at Arlington, this is a better perspective than you get from the 10-second clips you get from the media on the nightly news. I cut down the 30-minute video to 9 minutes for YouTube upload.<\/p>\n

The reason we were late; I stopped by to see some old friends and I stopped at some regimental memorials like this one from my affiliated regiment the 325th Airborne Infantry of the 82d Airborne Division;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I also\u00c2\u00a0took some photos after the crowd thinned out some while Mr. Cheney went in to attend the concert in the amphitheater.<\/p>\n

Notice the HUGE media coverage of the event – the premier Veterans’ Day event;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There were actually two cameras during the ceremony – every other year I’ve come, the scaffolding was packed with cameramen – even the other year I came and VP Cheney did the ceremony in 2001. Love that media of ours.<\/p>\n

I had heard there was going to be trouble at the event and I saw some unsavory people on the subway train that got off there and that were hanging around after the ceremony outside of the Cemetary – like they were waiting for someone – but seein’s how it was pretty early in the morning, I doubt the other derelicts could bring themselves to get out of bed.<\/p>\n
