Such a sad time that American service members are being buried without freinds or family with them. There are at least two articles recently about former military members being buried without anyone there to say good bye.
When my husband's grandfather died about a year ago, the family took his ashes to one of America's new military cemeteries. It was a cold day and the wind was blowing like mad. There were two chaplian's and a color guard there to help send Grandpa off. There were about 24 people including children (his great grandchildren and one great great grandchild).
No former American military member show go alone. Why not take some time and attend a few funerals and send off one person with dignity.
HONOR GUARD ENSURES NO VET DIES ALONE.
