The Guns Sounded…
As the first female army officer to earn a star as a Brigadier General was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery, the Presidential Salute Battery of the 3d Infantry Regiment – “The Old Guard” carried out their mission with dispatch in the cool weather of the day.
Off in the distance one could hear the music of the US Army Band as the final honors ceremony continued. I watched as the notes of TAPS began to echo up to the hill where we were, the soldiers immediately snapped to attention and saluted one last time to this historic officer of the US Army.
