Oracle Sponsors Wounded Warriors Visit Arlington National Cemetery

Twenty four Walter Reed Army Medical Center patients who were injured in the Global War on Terrorism were honored by the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) during a visit to Arlington National Cemetery on March 24, 2006.

The Old Guard gave the patients a tour of the cemetery, where they conducted a wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Funding for this visit was provided by Oracle.

The personal escort for the president of the United States, the Old Guard conducts ceremonies for heads of state and foreign dignities, as well as for fallen comrades at Arlington National Cemetery.

Col. Bob Pricone, regimental commander of The Old Guard, thanked the patients for their selfless service. "Our Soldiers want you to know we have the utmost respect and admiration for your bravery and commitment," he said.
