The Old Guard called it "one of the most extraordinary displays of discipline and dedication to duty ever to be witnessed at Arlington National Cemetery."
SoCal mom needs another bone marrow donor
A birthday party near Long Beach over the weekend could end up saving a life.
Susie Rabaca was 8-months pregnant with twins last year when she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia. She needed a blood stem cell transplant, and after more than 85,000 people signed up with the Be the Match Registry, a donor was found.
