Silent Drill

After flying home yesterday afternoon, we drove to the Iowa Jima Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery to watch the Marine Corp's Silent Drill. The boys were restless, and understandably so after a two hour drive to the Dallas airport, a two hour wait in the airport due to our plane's mechanical failure, and a two and a half hour plane ride. However, the "dual" between the Sergeant and the Private peaked their interest, and Keagan determined that "the boss" won with the best rifle tricks. (There is no dual, contest, or boss, but with little boys battles of supremacy always make for a more interesting story.) This was one more event I can cross off of my list of must-sees before we leave next summer.
