Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

A nice tribute. So many others could be mentioned; not very far from Joe Louis' and General Doolittle's burial sites are Lee Marvin's, and Audie Murphy's. The past couple of years I've gone to visit the graves of two of my older brother's cohorts from his USMC days and civilian service on behalf of their families. One was lost in Iraq.

My maternal grandfather is buried at Arlington.

Colonel Paul Langan, U.S. Army Medical Corps.

As a pioneering radiologist the Army came looking for him on December 8, 1941. Despite being an above the knee amputee (at 13, he lost it to a train he hopped to get to work in a steel mill) he was whisked into uniform, and told he'd figure out the military stuff while setting up radiology departments in hospitals across the country.

He was then posted to one in San Francisco, where he treated sailors, soldiers, aircrews, and Marines for the balance of the war.

Of every place I've ever been and every thing I've ever seen in my 56 years, Arlington affected me the most. I've been there several times over the years and its never lost its very special place in my life. Thank you and may god bless all those who lay there and elsewhere who gave their lives in service to this country.

I visited with my family when I was a young teen. Hope to go again someday.
