It is an honor and a privilege to serve at a funeral. Unfortunately, it is one that happens all to often in the last 15 years. We are losing the last of our WWII vets and the Korean War vets are not far behind.

I know with your family, the flag was received with the same respect that it was offered.

Thank you for sharing this solemn and emotional family moment.

I have goosebumps reading you.

Beautiful.

The most moving part of the ceremony. My grandpa–WWI, my dad WWII, my husband-Korean War

I have never heard a bugle with such a tender, sweet tone, as was played there for Dad. It was perfect.

When Mom had to find a copy of his discharge papers in order for this to be arranged, she knew she had seen them but couldn’t remember just where. She went to his wallet to look for something else, and found a card which was a miniature of those papers, and answered that need. No one had had any idea that he had carried that on his person all those years, as a veteran. His service mattered to him. It was indeed moving to have it honored.

What a beautiful honor.
