Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors 90-year old Army Veteran Arvid Meland. Just a few days ago, Arvid stood, with his eyes fixed on the flag-draped casket being wheeled past him and other members of the honor guard. This was nothing new for Arvid, in fact, he has performed these duties as part of the honor guard, precisely and honorably 2,999 times before. This day, as he helped honor the memory of fellow veteran Roger Rosenow, was his 3,000th honor guard duty. Thank you Arvid for your dedication and thank you to you and Roger for your service.
