My schedule and the weather permitting, I like to run home from work. It's not very far—only a couple of miles—and I finish at the Arlington County war memorial, a modest obelisk at the corner of Wilson and Washington Boulevard in Clarendon. There are plaques on each side listing the names of Arlington's war dead from the First World War to Iraq and Afghanistan. Having joined the Marines out of Arlington, it has occurred to me that, had I been a bit to the left or right on a few occasions, my name could very well be up there.
