...marriage supporters do press the vote again, they will have one ready source of allies - the 18,000 couples who were married in the brief window of time when gay marriage was legal in California and whose marriages remain intact.

At the end of last week, as if anticipating the court defeat, the Human Rights Campaign, a gay-rights advocacy group, released an inspirational video to rally support, promising that the 18,000 couples and their friends around the country would not be backing down.

Since the 1950s, on the Thursday before Memorial Day, soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Division have placed American flags at each of the more than 260,000 graves there. During the weekend, they patrol around the clock to make sure each flag remains aloft. On the holiday itself, every year about 5,000 people turn out to see the President or Vice President give a speech and lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. And other Americans are encouraged...
