Ed, my deepest thanks and appreciation to you, Isabel and Chip for making the effort to pay your respects to "Diver".

Yes, it was an experience. I had no idea how big it was from what I've seen on TV, and sadly how busy it is. It felt like 100 degrees, and we didn't expect the long walk we would make and didn't take any water with us.
For me, as as foreigner, Arlington was emotionally kinda "far away" ( I don't know how to say it better), like abstract. But while we were there it hit me, and I became aware of the sacrifices so many of you made, to make America what it is. We had to walk around several funerals that were taking place right then. It was very touching and stirred up a lot of emotions in us. Then we found "Diver" after a lot of searching and Ed calling the information desk via phone, that gave him the exact location. We paid our respects, and had a very thoughtfull walk back to our bikes. Thanks Ed and Chip for taking me there.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be insensitive, but... who is "Diver"? Tom's brother?
Please pardon my ignorance.

I'm sorry Cindy, I should have said that. Yes, Capt. William Tesauro (aka Diver) is Scabby's brother. Thanks for asking.

I'm sorry, Scabby. I didn't know you had lost a brother so recently.
What a privilege and honor it was for some of your doof friends to be able to pay their respects to him at his final resting place.

The day Diver was interred was a very moving day. One I was honored to be part of. I have a few friends I need to visit down there, just haven't been able to bring myself to do it yet.....

That's one reason why I haven't been back since Diver's day. Just haven't been able to go and visit those friends I have lost.

a tribute, there or not.
thoughts take precedence over physical location.
