This video link was passed to me from fellow forum member JimF4M1s.
Jim happens to be a 3 tour Vietnam veteran himself, Thanks Jim.
I wanted to post it here, to share with all.

You may have to watch a 15 second or so advertisement before the report begins.

The ceremony takes place on a small beach called Sunset Beach in south New Jersey.

Conducting the ceremony is WWII Navy veteran Marvin Hume. Mr. Hume has been doing this for over 38 years, from Memorial day to mid October. That accounts for nearly 6,000 ceremonies.
You'll hear that he's currently booked thru next summer also.

At about 35 seconds in, Note the determined look on Marvin Humes face,
When asked by reporter Jim Axelrod of CBS News......
What do you get..... 2 or 3 people to watch?

WWII Navy Veteran Marvin Hume while gritting his teeth replies......
'HAAH.... You gotta be kidding... I'm talking hundreds, you can't even see the ocean'

Then when asked... How long will you be doing this?
Mr. Hume replies.... 'Till I drop'

After seeing this mans love of his country and it's Veterans, it should be easy for all of us to say a prayer for those past and currently serving this country.
