A year or two ago, my post of the Scottish American Military Society was participating in a memorial service at the World War Two Memorial on the mall in downtown DC. There were quite a few different organizations participating, and most of them were placing wreaths. Our piper was asked to play "Amazing Grace" (I guess actually "New Britain", you learn something new every day) and he readily agreed. What he didn't realize was that almost all the organizations had WW2 veterans placing the wreaths. These are not young men, and they do not move quickly. By the time the last of 20 some wreaths had been placed, he was exhausted.
