Great respect to your father, and to you for sharing this very personal and difficult time with us. My hat is off to both of you.

Thanks for sharing that Al.......... The snow made for a beautiful setting. May your Father rest in deserved peace, with those that went before him. Such an honor, I'm sure your proud of him!

Your daughter's poem was touching.......... choked me up a bit too.

Thanks guys, I thought you might appreciate this. My father was blessed, and lived to a ripe old life. The thousands of tombstones we drove past with him reminded me that many others were much less so and gave their lives in conflict.

My son was in the Navy Ceremonial Guard and took part in far too many of these services. His service there was one of the biggest honors of his life. A very moving place where many of our nations finest rest. As a side note, it was six years ago today that Chris Kyle was shot while trying to help a fellow vet. RIP
