I HOPE YOU CAN TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS.
This story pulled at my heart strings. What a wonderful organization with such great and meaningful values to devote their time and to show respect to our fallen solders. The Arlington Ladies stand a silent vigil at funerals attended by dozens of mourners and at funerals where a Soldier has no next of kin - no friends present to render a final salute. In fact, that is the very reason they attend funerals.

Since 1973, the Arlington Ladies have ensured that no Soldier - old or young - is ever buried alone.
