Veteran members of the military were there. They were pallbearers alongside Eric and Evan.
Uncle Ron dedicated the grave with a beautiful prayer and was followed by a gun salute.
After Taps was played, a member of the family (Uncle Ron) was presented with the flag.
and then presented with 3 of the casings from the salute. One represented Taps, one represented the flag, and one represented the gun salute.
A family unit has been reunited...
Thank you Heather for your wonderful pictures. I even loved the snowflakes. It is a reminder of a beautiful graveside service even with the cold wind blowing. I am so very thankful for my eternal family and extended eternal family. Through the wonders of these blogs we can keep in touch and learn more about each other I love you all.
