A 21 gun salute is going off next door at the Iwo Jima memorial. Many funerals are taking place there, as more of the Arlington Memorial Cemetery fills up with our current action. I forget the impact, seeing the numbers in the news every day - and typically not hearing the guns go off during the ceremony. Someone's family is listening to those guns right now...
