Arlington, mission accomplished! Placed a wreath on Brian’s marker and that of his Command Sergeant Major while in Iraq, Eli Thomas. I know that Eli was a huge help to Brian when he took over B Company. It was my honor to visit his grave, place a wreath and thank him for his service.

Had a fabulous stop in Lumberton, NJ this morning. The elementary school treated us to a few joyous, patriotic songs. From there we drove into Philadelphia, to the Navy Yard and The Chapel of Four Chaplains. Vietnam POW Ralph Galati gave a very heartwarming and inspirational talk. The Chapel sent us off with a great lunch, a Philly pretzel and a T-Shirt to remember the occasion.
Next we drove into Delaware and drove by the Guardian of Defenders Memorial at the Holy Rosary church in Claymont.
On to the Dover Speedway.
