We got up super early for the sunrise service, dressing for warmth. (There was actually an option to attend another "sunrise" service nearby, scheduled about an hour later, but that would be more like a "sunrise memorial" service in the afterglow of the fully risen sun.)
My brother and I rallied remarkably despite the hour -- or perhaps fatigue simply loosened our tongues for light-hearted banter en route.
The setting was beautiful. There is a quality to dawn's early light, memorialized in our national anthem. But this was more peaceful; no bombs bursting in air. Fortunately.
