For this blogging  assignment I have chosen something that is considered by most to be myth; altough less than one percent of one percent of all Americans consider it to be nothing less than truth. America has a population of over 300 million people; all of our military forces are made up of one percent of those Americans, and the United States Marine Corp is made of one percent of that one percent. In 2003 Hurricane Isabel struck the east for the ninth time in one year, more specifically Washington DC. In DC there is a place where only our nations bravest warriors earn the ability to call this their final resting place upon this earth. Arlington National Cemetery is home for every medal of honor recipient this nation has ever been lucky enough to call one of our own, as well as the home to every fearless warrior that didn,t make it home and whose name will never be carved into granite. The Tomb of the Unknown serves as a reminder of all of those who never made it back to our great nation, whose remains will never be carried home and given the proper burial they deserve. This tomb is guarded every second of every day by our nations finest Marines, never to be left alone at anytime no matter what is happening in the world. The majority of people believe the Tomb of the Unkown was left unguarded during Hurricane Isabel, although I wasn,t personally there, I know marines wouldn,t disrespect those who gave ther lives for every single person who lives freely. We have a greater sense of honor than abandoning those that came before us just because there was some water falling from the sky.
