It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that most of those inspirational emails, while retaining some fact, also have a bit of urban legend and exaggeration. What drives me crazy is that several lines were quoted for being less than accurate….like you took a lot of time to break this apart, when really, the original email conveyed the point it meant to. If you looked on “snopes” you can STILL see the level of commitment and pride that these soldiers have for that particular job. If you have ever seen the actual Tomb itself you would know how poignant these soldiers' dedication it really is. Maybe if you had ever spent time serving this country and understanding what that Tomb is about that it would not be so important to pick this one apart?

I really appreciate the time you took, super sleuth, to uncover anything that might be less than accurate with this particular e-forward but I think I will stick with the inspiration of the original. Maybe the time could be better spent uncovering the mystery of the macabre and disturbing urban legend e-forwards instad of picking apart beautiful and patriotic forwards, such as this.
