There are a lot of amazing things to see in DC. As a retired Marine, I highly recommend the Tuesday parade at the Marine War Memorial (aka Iwo Jima Memorial) and the Friday night parade at the Marine Barracks, 8th & I Street. If you ever experience echo Taps from the ramparts at 8th & I, it will stay with you forever.

@TwoRulesOfWar When you show up at their door in uniform and there’s a chaplain with you, they know instantly. Been there, done that. Not fun. Even worse when it’s a mid-air in the Persian Gulf and there’s no bodies to recover. Makes closure that much harder.
@ZeekArkham Girl Dad’s are a special breed. The memories you’re making with your daughters will last forever. Ask me how I know (I’m old and he’s been gone awhile.)
@CynicalPublius So glad you’re sticking around this chaotic, sometimes insane corner of the world. I look forward to reading your posts as they’re a well thought out, breath of fresh air in a too-often shallow discussion of world events and issues.
@CAgovernor He should return that money only after you return all the zillions of federal dollars wasted by California on a train line that hasn’t happened.
