LiveLeak.com - Officer on Duty at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Silences Crowd After Laughter is Heard.

I received this on my facebook page. It took me a while to get the video downloaded, but I think this young man handled the situation quite well. It goes well with what I witnessed today as posted on my FB page and placed below:

I was honored to see how our veterans are treated on the honor flight today. First, they were announced at the airport, including the gate they were at. Folks clapped with ENTHUSIASM for them. Then, on the plane, the same thing happened. When we reached DC, there were fire trucks on both sides that saluted the plane with water. The vets they were asked to get off last. As we went down through the ...area of boarding, folks were lined up on both sides with flags, someone had a TV camera, a guy was sitting with a French horn, and they were all waiting expectantly for our heroes to deplane. As they came through, the applause started, standing ovation for this greatest generation of whom there are so few left. There would be a pause as a slower fellow came off the plane, then they started up again until all of them were in the terminal. I was brought to tears by this scene as I saw the guys I work with everyday honored by folks who have no idea what their names are, only that they are here, are appreciated, are honoring them as they see the memorial built for them, the WWII memorial. It was so awesome! I have hope for America tonight, even DC. Let's honor ALL our heroes, from all wars, who have given freedom to us by paying for it, some with their lives.
