Michael Yon on the way they do it at Bagram Air Force Base, when the C-17 arrives to take another warrior home. And this good Pajamas media piece on the truth about who serves and who doesn’t.

Mr. Boy will go with his Mom and grandmother this morning to put a little stick flag on his Navy grandfather’s grave at the national cemetery near Dallas, in observance of Memorial Day. I think of his Air Force grandfather, my dad, who’s buried in Arlington many miles away. Someday we’ll take him there. Arlington probably put out their flags yesterday for all. There’s this touching Trace Adkins song about that place.
