When the Flag Goes Down

(h/t to M*A, who h/t'ed Tanker Brothers, who h/t'ed Blackfive. A few more, and we'll almost be six degrees from Kevin Bacon!)

I just wrote about my experience when the flag went down on Langley AFB. Here's another perspective:

Robin Williams was recently in the Middle East. He's doing his act, entertaining the troops...

And then, RETREAT sounds... (no, it's not what the Democrats and liberals would like us to do. Retreat is the end of the day bugle call which lets us know that it's time for the flag to come down.

Watch the Soldiers. And Robin Williams... who's thrown a little for a loop (I'm not sure if he's truly unaware of what's going on... think he's a little wiser and in the know than most people give credit) is very respectful.

Thought I'd share.

That's a great clip. One of my favorite memories from playing lax in college was when we would play against West Point Prep. When retreat would sound, everything on the field would just stop...it was something that would remind you that eventually the guys that you were playing against would be going on to do jobs that had real consequences....
