So if you haven't taken that trip to the Fort Myer Thrift Shop yet, here is another good reason to go over that way. The Old Guard lets folks visit with the ceremonial horses. I went recently and got the chance to meet Sergeant York up close and personal. He's a real beauty and most famous for being the riderless horse who carried President Reagan's boots backwards in the stirrups during the funeral procession in DC. I believe, but don't hold me to it - you can visit everyday between 12-4pm. The Old Guard folks are around to answer questions and make sure all is well with the horses...enjoyment for young and old alike!
Until next time....Lisa
