Who braved crossing Constitution Ave during the Rolling Thunder Parade to make sure we had a worthy picture of this special Marine.

A Marine's Special Salute
Yesterday, Ken, Lisa and George met Tim Meadows who is an active Marine that takes vacation to stand at attention in his dress blues saluting all the bikers riding in the Rolling Thunder parade. The parade can take up to 6 hours. Today, parade day, it was 90 degrees and humid in DC.

The Veteran
A soul that serves, A hero unspoken, A life of loss, A promise unbroken,
A burden, A favor, A memory, A Savior,
To give, To be taken, For what is right, and mistaken
A heart, A vein, A Concious, A Brain,
Carries the load, Orders are followed, A life of conscience, The inner is hollowed,
A number, A stat, A body, An Act
Built to be Strong, Die if Weak, Trained to Kill, Not allowed to speak,
A survivor, A Mission, A loss, A vision
Did your job, lost a friend, Survivors Guilt, Until the end,
