In celebration of ten years of blogging here at LTG, each week for the next 52 51 50 49 48 47 46  45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 weeks I will delve deep into the sewer archives of past posts to bring you a tidbit of blog history.  I had originally planned to call this series “The best of LTG”, but damn, there just wasn’t much “best” to be found.  And mediocre is too hard to spell.)

Five years ago found me attending an honor guard ceremony to commemorate the unveiling of a statue of Lieutenant General  Walton H. Walker, the 8th Army Commanding General who died during the Korean War.  I wrote about the event in a post entitled “Honoring Walton H. Walker”.

I always enjoyed the pomp and circumstance associated with these ceremonies and in the post linked above I have quite a few photographs that somewhat capture the pageantry.  Honor Guard events are uniquely military and they serve to remind us that when you work for the Army you have a responsibility to maintain the traditions and to respect and honor the sacrifices of those who have served.  I certainly never had seen anything similar in my years with the U.S. Department of Education and the USPS.

And next week I’ll be back for more!
