	I'm not a person who is easily moved, and in truth am highly
	indifferent to much that people find so touching.  However,
	one of the few spectacles that has succeeded in piercing me 
	deeply has been the one perceived whilst standing amid the 
	seemingly endless ocean of graves at Arlington, being unable
	to help but to attempt to contemplate each and every single 
	individual life that came to rest here and by what means they 
	may have done so.
