Military Burial

For those of you that have seen a Military Burial, you know it is a moving experience. We finally laid my Father's ashes to rest in the new Jacksonville National Cemetery today. I won't show all of the pictures but here is a few with the Honor Guard. The young men and women that perform at these functions are truly amazing. I am proud of my father's Navy service and I'm proud that I witnessed professional military personnel at its finest.

 

Sorry to hear about your father as well i personally have been to one when i was 8 yrs old when my grandpa passed away it sure is a sight to see.

 

You should proud
and thank you
i well thank your father in my prayers

 

Thanks for sharing bro!

 

Sorry for your loss. I'm honored that you shared that with us. Thank You.

Can't see for the fog in my eye bro. My grandpa was the only military funeral I've been to, I was 10 and remember it like yesterday.

 

My sympathy MM.

Our hearts and prayers are with you.

 

Sad about your dad Jim. Good he got the honor he earned at his passing though.

 

Thank you for the priviledge of viewing your father's memorial service with full military honors. My thoughts and prayers are with your family MM.

 

My grandmother has a letter signed by President Regan offering his condolences to my grandmother after my granfathers death, WW2 VET, she asked me what I wanted in her will, I said one more day with you, she said really, what do you want. I said that letter. I haven't received that letter yet, and I don't ever want to.

 

thanks for sharing,Jim!

 

I think MacArthur said, Old soldiers never die, they just simply fade away. I don't agree with him, I remember my grandfather all the time. That is how I honor him. I miss him every day. Kevin Thanks for his service to our country.

Yes, he's right, this wasn't about my experiences, my condolences to you and yours. Take pride in your father and his life. 21 Guns to your father

Sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing. My wife's Grandfather was a Pearl Harbor survivor. It was a very humbling experience to witness the military rifle salute, folding and presentation of the flag to his wife, and the playing of Taps.

 

Thanks for sharing.
