When I was in eighth grade, I got to present a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown, it was a really wonderful experience. They are very serious about all these regulations because before I got to do it, I had to go over this whole packet of exactly what to do, and there was a specific dress code as well. Once I got there, I had to meet with an officer and go over the details of exactly how, where, and when to walk again. I felt very honored to get to be a part of the whole thing.
