This is the unit that provides the honor guard, and the salutes, at all of the funerals there. They also guard the Tomb of the Unknowns, walking their post literally through rain or shine.

Jake and Andrew are quite similar in many ways -- both adored by their parents -- and both diagnosed with autism while they were in pre-school. Both Jake and Andrew received an expensive, intensive and to some, a controversial therapy known as Applied Behavioral Analysis or ABA. It's not a cure for autism. However, applied early, the intensive and highly-structured teaching of skills can work minor miracles and over a long period of time, can have a dramatic impact on learning skills and social interaction. ABC News correspondent John Donvan explores how this treatment is being hailed as one of the few known keys to unlock the mysterious doors of autism.When sold by Amazon.com, this product will be manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

At the young age of 30, having grossed over 80 million dollars in record sales and just off the cusp of the release of the album "Glass Houses," Billy Joel sat down and spoke to ABC News for his first-ever television network interview. Billy Joel is known as one of the best songwriters/performers as well as one of the few classic balladeers. In the interview, Billy Joel recalls his early piano lessons he took growing up in Hicksville, Long Island, and composing his own "fake Beethoven concertos," one of which he demonstrates for ABC News. Joel talks about the disastrous recording of his first album entitled "Cold Spring Harbor," which was recorded in the wrong speed, and how that prompted him to disappear from the music scene for some time. While on his music industry sabbatical, Joel took a job as a piano player at a small bar in Los Angeles that wound up being the inspiration for his hit song, "Piano Man." ABC News is also on hand as Billy Joel goes into the recording studio with his producer Phil Ramone, as they work on finishing a lyric in the song "Don't Ask Me Why."
