A thread back from the dead!
I wasn’t here the first time this went around. Glad I was able to catch it this time.

There is a modern book titled “Horse Soldiers,” set in Afghanistan, post 9-11. Total different circumstances than the original Horse Soldiers, but a great read nonetheless.

Same here. I just joined last year so I hadn’t seen this. Great story. Well told. There is just something so, I can’t find the word, about these military ceremonies that touches anyone who witnesses them. Same feeling when George H.W. Bush was buried. I loved all the military ceremonies, there was something so...., what is the right word for this?
