Time stops

At 4:30 p.m. everyday at Mac Dill Air Force base...time stops. All over the base retreat plays followed by the National Anthem. It is the coolest thing I have ever seen. People stop their carts in stores, kids get out of the pool, cars stop in the middle of the road and people get out....everything just freezes. People all over the base stop and place their hands on their heart and listen. Then when the music stops, things return to normal. I love that as busy as people are in their lives, they can take that brief moment to show their patriotism.
